Title: Product I'd ?
Post by: Funkyworm on January 08, 2013, 12:35 PM

Hi guys, just wanted some info on the brake caliper in the picture it's on a 1987 gt performer f&f .There's no markings on here & the closest I've see was a weinman caliper on eBay but I thought this model came with odyssey brakes ?

Any help would be appreciated as I would like to renew & need the I.d. so that I can track down some parts.
