I recall reading a long time ago that you could bolt up 1976 capri front calipers to an alpine V. Is that correct? Are there any gotchas involved with that? If you need an adaptor to the brake hoses where can you get them?
I had a stuck caliper piston on the left front and rebuilding with stainless steel pistons etc. is about $150 and up for both calipers (the left front also needs rebuilding). I can get remanufactured capri calipers online for about $40 each, a considerable savings.
If I went with the capri calipers are there any preferred remanufacturers or are they all about the same?
What type pads should I use with these?
My car has a V6 conversion (unfortunately not V6 Jose's kit, done by the previous owner) with a firebird fuel injected V6, a T5 tranny, and a narrowed mustang II V8 rear end. I installed a pickup dual master cylinder with no boost and you could still lock up the wheels with a bit of foot pressure. The wheels are off a 86 thunderbird turbo coupe. The tires are Yokohama P185/70 R 14s. There should be room for larger brake calipers inside the wheel.
