The calipers that I have are definitely ATE. Ken has excellent photos on his website at Vanagain.com to compare Girling to ATE. Thanks Ken! I'll be calling Vanagain tomorrow, and also VanCafe to see if VanCafe's pins that they sell are Girling or ATE pins (the website does not specify). If VanCafe's pins are ATE, then my rebuilt ATE's are not rebuilt very well and the holes are not big enough to fit the collar on the pins...or something like that.
