I've got a set of calipers which were pulled from the race car.  They were 
working well when pulled.  I'll sell them for $50 per piston or $100 per 
assembly.  The piston hanger has been modified so that it will slip under 13" 
wheels.  The bolt holes were slotted so that the assembly will slide closer to 
the hub.  I also have the rotors which were turned down so that the calipers 
could slide in farther.  I'll sell the rotors for $100 for the pair.  They will 
work nicely if you are going to do the Volvo caliper swap.  I also have a 200SX 
parts car.  The rear disc brakes are a popular swap into roadsters.  I'll sell 
the rear brakes for $100.  Bring a trailer and that $100 gets you the rest of 
the car if you want it.

The needle is fragile and is susceptible to bending and binding - handle 
carefully.  also, be extremely cautious blowing the piston out with 
compressed air - if it is sticking or a little corroded or rusty it can come 
lying out with extreme force.  Even if it doesn't hit you, it  will ricochet
