    Brake question for you vets from a newbie

    Ok I have a '85 Z31 2+2 turbo and the rear right caliper was leaking from the parking brake cyl. The overhauled caliper I put on had the same issue two-fold, so the original went back on (weeping is better than pissing, right). As I wait for another to get freighted to me I wonder if ther is an easy mod to replace the calipers with perhaps the front or possible another year) I have done a quick search on the site but didnt see the info.

    insight is apprieciated

    unfortunately- keeping costs in mind- there is really no other caliper to put on the back that retains factory e-brake functionality and proper bias without going to maybe a set of willwoods, which are probably out of the price range.

    just cross your fingers that the next caliper is better.

    just put on another replacement.

    yeah … to be honest I really am not to concerned to keep the ebrake, (I will have 30 days if LEO even notices. That ebrake thing is wacked.

    I have more parts on order I just part of living in the sticks that every thing has to be shipped in from the big smoke (city).

    thanks for the responses
