Thanks to all who replied and tried to help.  The final conclusion:  36 mm rear calipers are out of production and no longer available from aftermarket vendors (available from the stealer for about $500 a piece though).

I am now facing a choice:  getting a remanufactured 36 mm caliper with all the associated headaches (it will probably start seizing by the end of winter) or getting two brand new 38 mm calipers for the rear (those are available).  Will 38 mm give me too much braking power at the back?  Starting at VIN J-240,000 cars were equipped with those as standard and, according to Family Album, front brakes remained the same.  BTW, ABS does not work.  Any opinions?
Thanks.
