I ordered a pair of 77 Camaro calipers, hard to get cause no one has them and the ones that do want $100 plus per, I got mine for $150 but that includes $60 core charge and that is a few $$$ less than Rockauto for the identical caliper from the same brand . I gave up looking for pistons. I should be getting the calipers tomorrow..

I'm still tying to figure out what on the calipers is Metric.

If the Banjo bolts are metric, buy a couple metric banjo bolts, or use the old ones from G-body calipers (Or pretty much any GM car since 1982). If the Pins that came with the calipers are Metric, use your old Pins.

The Calipers don't have any threads other than the Banjo bolts holes and the bleed holes and it should come with bleeders.

the bango threads are metric and the brake bleeder is metric. On the 77 calipers I ordered all the threads are SAE. The metric caliprs are most like;ly low drag which I cannot use. The SAE calipers were before low drag was used. The only difference between a conventional and low drag caliper is the groove for the seal in a low drag caliper piston is cut on one side to give angle so the seal can pull the piston back about 20 thou more than the piston retracts in a conventional caliper
