Jeff,
In case it turns out you need the calipers, the PO of my van ('87 Syncro
Westy) had new, as in brand new brakes put on the van and the calipers were
even bright RED when I bought the van 3 1/2 years ago. I put the Big Brakes
on a few months ago so I have a set of used but very good calipers if you
want them. I put the BB Kit on because I've got 16" wheels, larger tires.
Pmail me if you decide you want them. I'll throw in the braided stainless
steel brake lines. $100 the pair. You pay shipping. Salt Lake City.
