Are GSL rear brake calipers interchangable with GSL-SE
Does anyone know for sure what the difference is between GSL and GSL-SE rear calipers? I need a drivers side rear caliper and the only one I can get my hands on is a GSL's.

I think the SE's are bigger.

Try victoriabritish.com Looks like it will run about $100+core. Part#80-592-Z, Caliper-R-LH, Models 84-85 13B

Hey, my rear caliper on the driver's side just took a crap on me.

On the Discount Auto Part's computer there was no distinction between models, it just had loaded and unloaded part numbers.

The GSL-SE has a vented rear disc, the GSL uses a solid disc of smaller diameter. I therefore doubt very much that they use the same caliper.

That's what I figured. I know my SE does, but I didn't think the GSL did.
