$86 shipped for the 65-70 new casting Bendix calipers, again! These are ALL the same, no matter who is offering them: Cardone, Oreilly, etc.

74 Hornet Hatchback X twins (since 1977)
62 American Convertible (still worth the $50 I spent in 1973!) AMCRC #513, AMO #384
70 AMX 360 4-speed (since 1981)

LOL, hope they are better quality than the last picture indicates! The pistons all look at different angle's. Like they are loose in bore or falling out. Have these been used successfully?
Glad to see products being made but hope better than look in pic's.

Unless you get stainless steel sleeves for the piston bores they will fail again for the same reason the originals fail. And probably in a shorter amount of time, judging by the quality.

I believe the seal design has been updated on these. I should take one apart and see! These have been around now for 4-5 years. I've heard only 1-2 complaints about leaks.

Okay, you can add mine to the list, then. I had a pair of these reproduction/replacement/aftermarket calipers and they began leaking within a few months. Ruined yet another set of pads. I sent my original cores off to be sleeved and have been happy ever since.

Bought these off Rockauto a few years ago. No complaints.

Yours was on my list! I'm just trying to make people aware that a previously unobtainable item-that some people need and want-is back in stock.
