[Shotimes] Caliper questions

Varga was the original supplier of calipers.  AZ sells replacement calipers
that are cast by someone else.  I have purchased Cardone rebuilt calipers
that were original Ford calipers.  There are other cars that use the Taurus
caliper but I think you have a caliper that was cast by an aftermarket
manufactuer and is not a rebuilt Ford product.

Subject: [Shotimes] Caliper questions


First, let me apologize.  I'm sure you've all missed my sarcastic comments
lately.  My wife just delivered our first baby last week, so I've been a bit
busy ;^)

Okay, are there cars that share the same basic caliper with the Taurus (and
obviously SHO)?  Reason I ask is that I have two remanufactured front
calipers (from AutoZone) and my speedbleeders don't fit them.  The bleeder
hole is noticeably smaller, I just don't know what size it is.

If I could narrow the list of what cars these calipers might be really
designed for maybe I could find the proper size speedbleeders?

FWIW, they appear to be exactly the same.  They bolt up to the bracket just
fine and work like a charm.  Just happen to have a different size bleeder!

Any help appreciated.

Oh, and to anybody who's been wondering if Speedbleeders are worth buying:
THEY ARE!  I'm so happy with them I installed them on my buddy's '96 and (so
far) the rear of my '93.
