      Could I have lucked out and got 2 rear calipers? Pics attached

      Here's a photo of the 2 calipers I have. Now this maybe a dumb question as the bleeders are on opposite sides but I thought I'd ask because if you look close you can see a little "L" stamped on the back of each one right next to the bleeder.



      Thanks for any answers,

      Donnie

      I don't know what the "L" stands for, but below the numbers stamped are different.

      Yes, I believe so..I just wanted to make sure that I actually have a RIGHT and a LEFT caliper? Before I go buy a left and exchange this one tomorrow.

      Thanks,

      You did get two rear calipers...but I assume you meant to say two LH calipers. The one on the left in your picture is the RH caliper, and visa versa. The "L" stamped in the back doesn't indicate hand.

      It's what I does.

      Thank you Tobin. I'll get another left.

      I got those front calipers all mounted up today..still need to get those hubs turned down a bit more though. The place didn't chamfer them like I asked so that may be the issue.

      Clearance is tight but with some grinding on those cooling fins the calipers fit with no interference. Will have to run flush mount valve stems on the front wheels.

      Tobin, another question..What do you recommend or do you have kit for the rear brake lines? I bought the 5 piece kit from Kore3...the hard line will need to be cut and then re-flared? Or is there a pre-cut to length hard line I can buy?

      Thank you,

      Donnie

      Donnie, I would either cut and reflare the hard lines you have if they're in decent shape, or if not, just replace them. If you're going to replace them and don't want to flare them, you can buy preflared hard lines in various lenths from 8" to 72" from most autoparts stores, so I would just mock up the lines with a piece of wire (coat hanger works) by measuring the length while the wire is straight, fitting it to the axle, and then subtracting the tail length from the original piece to get the approximate length that you need. That should get you close enough to buy new hard lines that just need to be bent to fit.
      It's what I does.
