Title: Halp!
Post by: Anniepoo on July 06, 2012, 09:02:08 AM
  I'm working a short, intense computer contract. 
  Right as it started the right front brake caliper went out on my 78 clipper.

  I hire a kid off craigslist to come do it on a saturday, just to get the job done on sat.
  well, problem's a stuck caliper, it's destroyed pads and rotor. 
 
  That was last sunday, the kid says he'll order parts, maybe we can do on 4th of July, maybe this weekend. So, last night he emails me 'still haven't got the part'.  He's not getting what a disaster this is for a fulltimer.

  Does somebody know the part number for a 78 clipper right front brake caliper, rotor, and pads?
If so , please email annie66 @ yahoo  d.ttio com

Thanks

Annie

Hey Larry, Thanks for the help!

Turns out the le4627rf must be discontinued, nobody at Napa's ever heard of it, either the live chat or the local store.

Any other ideas?

If we have to pull one from a junk yard, anybody have a suggestion what vehicle to look for?

Try Rockauto.com. I got many of my brake parts for my Clipper through them.

parts should be the same for 1 ton trucks (easier to find in a wrecking yard) of the era or 3/4 and 1 ton vans
