    Hey everyone; Still in need of any info about caliper rebuild kits. G&R Imports said they may have a used caliper available. Wondering if there is other alternatives. Have 1994 Mits. u15t lefty, looking for rubber seals, o-rings ,etc.Thanks for info. Vettman

    Vetteman,

    Try a 84-87 Mitsubishi Galant caliper. The Galant and your truck take the same brake pad so I am guessing they will take the same caliper. Just a guess.

    Chad,

    Welcome back, wondered if you took a 10 month "walk-about"????

    Anyway back OT (and prob preaching to the choir here) But, if the parts from a Mits Galant will work for Vettman's brakes, you can use the parts from a Dodge Colt, Plymouth Champ, or Plymouth Cricket (in Canada). These are all the same imported/rebadged Mits Galants..........later, slim

    Just joined the site but have been readin all the info for a year or better, this site is full useful info. Anyway Vettman could you update us on what you found out about your brake problem. I have a '90 minicab and the front brake pads cross reference to a '84-'87 galant also, Need to put on new pads and would like to rebuild calipers as well
    Thanks

    Hey Yot e223, Sorry i haven,t got back about this. The Gallant caliper i ordered from Auto Zone was not a match. It was 85-87 year and the distance from the center of the slides was greater then mine. The caliper was also wider.I do have a lefty with 12" stock rims maybe thats why it,s different. I tried to order repair kit from mini truck supply and they could not come up with anything for my serial numbers. I now have ordered repair kits from a supplier that fit different year Gallants hoping one will work for my application. Thanks to all who have tried to help. Vettman

    Hey , Took dan's advice and did order repair kit #mb366526 from on line mits parts store. The others i took chance on cost $6.56 but did not work. Will up date when i get them. Dan's experience is most likley correct and i should have done this to begin with. Later Vettman

    Hey Dan, Ordered part #mb366526 repair kit from MitsubishiOnlineParts .com and was told it is discontinued. Did you have another souce for me to try. The Gallant kits i purchased to try to see if they fit , well the boot or seal seems to fit but the o-ring for the piston is to big. My piston o.d. measures right at 2". Any other help would be appreciated. Thanks vettman

    Just a successful update on my caliper. If you look at previous posts, G&R did send me a used caliper left steer & right steer trucks are the same application, just specify what side you need. The caliper would still not release as my original would not. After trying the numerous options i decided to take apart the G&R caliper. Rust due to who knows what, was present. Cleaned everything up, put it all back together and it works fine. Maybe could have done that to previous caliper. Dans Mitsy part list, numbers & illustrations are excellent but most are no longer available. I thank all that gave input to my situation. My truck and parts seem to be in the minority being left hand steer so i appreciate all that have contributed to it's up and running condition, as of right now. Thanks Vettman
