Exclamation 91 Vert Rear Brake help

Hey guys, I am getting back into the rotary world after a few years away from it and I am having the biggest struggle of my life right now, I have vented rear brake calipers, You cannot find rear calipers even remaned ones anymore, Is there a way to take another caliper from a different car and bolt it on? Or am I screwed on this one?

Calipers, especially the rears, for these cars are very difficult to find. If you need to replace an existing caliper, than I would suggest either searching Ebay or putting in a search request with a salvage yard. For example, you might want to try Catalina Auto Recycling (Catalina Auto Recycling). What's the problem with your existing caliper(s)?

as said above, real hard to find vented rears. ebay will be your best bet for a new (to you) set. But if you're set is more or less complete, rebuild them. rebuild kits through atkins are reasonably priced. only takes a few hours to rebuild them. to make it real easy, once their off, get them sandblasted to make then nice and new looking before you throw a coat of paint on them (or you can always get them powder coated).

i do have a set of vented rears sitting on my work bench. were rebuilt however broke a bolt off in the driver side caliper where the parking brake cable bracket attaches. id let them go for a reasonable price due to that.

Rebuilding is an option, I do find calipers on ebay though.

Also, I got a pair of used ones and I am rebuilding a pair. But they are located in the EU
