Source for RF 1965 rebuilt caliper with correct casting numbers

[Jim S.]

Lone Star does a great job but they are wholesale only.
I need to replace a leaking RF caliper that is the wrong casting number for my car. The one I need is casting 5465954 & 5465952. I'd like the ones rebuilt with 'O' rings. Where is a source for these? Some vendors no longer even carry calipers. Some sell only generic calipers.

Paragon could not tell me if the ones they have have the correct casting numbers, I need to call back when when some tech is working

Thanks for any suggestions.

Call Lone Star and ask to speak to Ken, the owner. He has always been very receptive to helping Corvette owners.

Again, speak directly to Ken.

Many of my friends buy from Lone Star, and none are commercial accounts.

Otherwise you can also call CSSB, Inc. They are also very good folks and I know they can help you. But again, I would ask to speak to the owners to ensure you get what you need. CSSB Inc are the company that sells new Delco castings.....as they bought the rights from GM. They also feature DR VETTE rebuilt/reconditioned calipers with lifetime warranty. Very very nice. I have a full set myself.......going on now 25 years.

CSSB is open, and I've purchased a few items from them in the last several weeks.
You can order a correct-casting o-ring caliper directly from them online, it's an option when you order. You don't even have to talk to them.

No info on-line. Do you have their number?

All set, ordered from Lone Star. Since I wanted the 'O' ring design I had to order two for the front. They will have the correct casting numbers. Of course new brake pads.
