68 Brake Caliper question
I have a 68 Corvette and of course it now needs calipers. I believe they are the original parts. Is there a kit I can buy and rebuild them or somewhere I can send them to have them sleeved. Or are they not valueable enough to worry about being original. They have some stamped numbers that I don't remember seeing on my later C3 calipers.
Thanks Jerry

Jerry,
I'd keep anything with numbers.
VB&P has a rebuild kit part #11308 listed here http://www.vbandp.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=337
I ended up just buying new calipers and setting the originals aside for the next owner or to sell to someone doing a complete #s matching resto.

I believe VB will sleeve your calipers for you as I think I checked with them several years ago. You definitely want to keep those calipers and have them stainless sleeved.
