The early calipers don't use carriers but they do come with new pins and the cross shaped tensioner clip. I also have later model calipers as well that are listed as rebuilt ones for $75 plus a $75 core charge. They are all brand new and come with brand new carriers and guide pins as well. An excellent deal since many times these are also worn out. Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com
