Early calipers....Vatdevil?

Vatdevil was able to help me with my master cylinder, so everything is now rebuilt....but I still have a dragging brake on the front right side.

I think it's time for new calipers. Mine appear to be ATE, with perhaps German codes of some kind.

Vatdevil or other early SPF owners, do you know the part number or other ID that could get me to the correct replacement?

Thanks again.........Bill

Not sure what was on older cars..mine has Ford Thunderbird calipers from the late 80s.

It was Granada on the front and Thunderbird on the rear.

Not sure on anything that early.

Try NAPA SE5059A and Se5060A.....$60 each. Hawk makes upgrade pads for these calipers. Is that your ebrake cable in the pic? Both of mine were frayed where they pass thru the tube into the caliper. Made new cables, reusing the original housings.

Does this look like it might match?

Thanks for the help............Bill

Sorry, I gave you info on the REAR calipers. No idea on the fronts. Threw mine out when I installed Wildwoods big brake package from Olthoff.
