Year?

the same pins work regardless of JL9 or J55. There are two slots on the pin for the retainer clip. One for JL9 (narrower calipers) and the other for J55 (wider calipers standard on ZR1s and I believe 95/96)

I ordered mine off of rock auto, can select year etc…

local parts stores may have in stock too, they can look it up too

Again all pins I’ve gotten are universal between options so don’t sweat it.

do you have a part number? I’ve looked a lot of places but only found one for the rear.

Assuming you have an 88+, it’s under brake hardware kits on rock auto.

one example:

I believe all the aftermarket pins available now have two grooves. One for the standard and one for the j56. I believe I ordered mine from corvette central or mid america when I had to replace the bracket.
