FW: Guide pins for Girling 60 calipers.

["Hussey, Dan" <husseyd@rayovac.com>]

Dave,

Exactly!  The carrier guide pins are the things that commonly break on
the G60's.  Not sure how, but seen it a lot.  In fact, I've seen
instances where the guide pins bolts were soddered in because the pin
broke!  

Anyways, the only source for these (without buying the whole assembly)
seems to be the junkyard.  But, I believe a rebuilder will accept
calipers with broke guide pins in exchange (with about $300 extra) for a
rebuilt set.

Later,
Dan
