As stated these are no longer available as remans, does anyone have any sources or shops they've used to rebuild calipers? Or has anyone retrofitted these with something else?

Fronts? Rears? All?

All four, car has been sitting for a long time and the calipers are froze up and in rough shape.

Ok, I'll see if I have anything in the parts pile, but check with Chris at Force5 auto in Concord, NH. He's got a way bigger pile than I do...

Also, if you can get the calipers off, check that it's the calipers themselves or the slide pins on the brackets, or both. Rebuild kits are definitely still available. IIRC the fonts are Girling 60 dual pistons and the rears might be Girling 38? Or something like that.

I checked the brakes again and the fronts are twin piston Girling 60 and the rears single piston Girling 41 43.
