The calipers are from an ATV/ four wheeler type vehicle. I'll look for the receipt to get some sourcing info. If I recall one reason for selecting the particular caliper, other than braking effort, was the source provided a package; hoses, calipers and a master cylinder. No buying parts from different sources or experimenting out of a parts catalog. The second reason was the master cylinder, this being a dual type. On the original vehicle one cylinder powered two front calipers and the second the single caliper on the rear axle. We used the front wheel calipers connecting each to a single cylinder in the dual master. I think we plugged a port on one cylinder. This configuration provides for differential brakes, essential to our setup.
Rather than ship how about the next time I'm in Maine I'll stop in to see your project and enjoy some lobster?
