If you have a bad/sticking caliper you should consider rebuilding or replacing all of them and the master cylinder. They stick because they get corroded inside.If one is corroded you can assume they all are and each will be sticking as you put more mileage on and the brakes wear.

Brake calipers are rebuilt items only, also are not currently in stock.

SpecialT has parts to rebuild them (or at least he used to). Check with all of the vendors, if one is out of stock on rebuilt ones, others may have stock. Not a big deal to rebuild the calipers and you can save some money. Usually is not possible to rebuild the master cylinder. If you do buy rebuilts they charge a core if you don't ship the old cores back.

And you can be sure those parts were originally designed for something other than a DeLorean or even Girling.

I've got to say, for a car that's 38 years old, she shifts like a dream, smooth as silk, I'm getting more and more impressed with the drivability of this car every day.
