I am in need of the vented style, larger (19-B1083 is the part number, this is for Cardone and Duralast at least) rear driver's side caliper for my 1990 RX-7. I have had a devil of a time sourcing this part, remanufactured ones are all out of stock on every reputable website. Is there anyone that has one, or knows where I can get one? I do have a new seal kit for a rebuild, but am super worried that if the bore is too corroded I'll end up stuck until I can source the part anyway. Thanks in advance!

Yep, I've tried AutoZone, Advance, O'Reilly, Napa, Amazon, eBay, and others. It's crazy. Everyone I've been able to get ahold of on the phone or via email says it's back-ordered indefinitely. Extremely frustrating! I may have no other option than to go with the rebuild route...

I literally bought the last one at rockauto about a month ago. Good luck man, it took me over a month to find one.

Try The Wrench Monkey based in Ontario. They're a good company. You might have luck. Keep in mind that the rears are superimposable. Try getting hits on part ending in 1082 instead of 1083.

EDIT: I think the 1082 is even harder to find though.

Ha! Thanks. I guess I should be grateful I was able to get the other side done, at least; both rears were sticking (although the driver's side is worse). They both seemed to go right at the same time, or at least it got bad enough for me to notice. What kills me is that I had just gotten done installing a Racing Beat exhaust. I also sealed the undercarriage with POR-15 while I was under there. I'm DYING to take the car out for a nice country road tour, but can't, just got to go around the block.

Wait, but wouldn't the banjo bolt, bleeder screws and e-brake bracket be improperly lined up with a right caliper on the left side?

Rotary Alkymist

My apologies. The caliper isn't. The bracket is.

Yeah the turbo rear driver side took me a while to find. Rockauto rebuilt them super slowly you just have to get lucky and wait for them to have it in stock. This was a pain in the *** when I was buying all new calipers.

Rotary Alkymist

I think you have that backwards. 1083 and 1082 are for 5 lug.

Yeah I’m an idiot thanks for correcting me . I deleted what I wrote so no one gets confused . But rockauto has one in stock right now . Only one left . 19b1083
