1989 Rx7 brakes

So I'm in search of a rear left brake caliper for my 1989 Mazda Rx7. I'm having trouble finding them online and even had a mechanic shop help try and find one. If anyone's got suggestions anything helps!

There are rebuild kits if your core is good.

If you need the whole caliper, do you have vented rear rotors or solid rear rotors? There are two different calipers depending on the factory brake option.

Bummer
Seems like even RockAuto doesn't have them. They seem to have one for non-vented...
Have you considered attempting to rebuild them yourself? Or buy the seals and see if your mechanic is willing to rebuild them for you?

Seal kit:

You could also check ebay or search/post in the "marketplace" here if anyone is parting out a car or selling those parts.
