Using GSL axle hardware on RX-2, need some help
I'm fitting an early 83 GSL diff and brakes to my RX-2 and need a little help. I'm using the RX-2 Axle unmodified.
1.) what fluid do I use in the GSL LSD?
2.) Locating links look the same as the RX-7. Anybody know if urethane bushings for RX-7 will fit the RX-2 links? What's the ID and thickness of the locating link ends? I can measure mine to see if they'll work.
3.) Rebuilt calipers - My current calipers have blown piston seals and the piston face is destroyed by too many kids with pliers trying to replace pads. If I get reman calipers, will the piston be new and un-destroyed? Where's the best place to buy calipers without spending too much?

I dot know what happened to my post lat night. so here we go again.
the 81-83 GSL 3rd member is a straight swap to a RX-2.
For the front calipers, you can try using a SA front brake calipers as I did it in my recent RX-4 project. I also know a good shop here in LA that can rebuild them including the brake booster (you may as well get that done also). Im sure I have several calipers from those vintage rotaries. If ur interested, i will look for them and see how it will cost to get them rebuilt....just pay for rebuilt costs/shipping + I need your old ones for core.
