A couple months ago replaced the right caliper on my '86 GL. I got a
good price at my local NAPA store (Indy). $45 if I recall correctly
(remanufactured, with exchange). It even included the pins and rubber
boots to hold the caliper on (maybe the all do, I don't know).

Oddly enough, I've always found NAPA to be higher than the other FLAPS
here in Indy (Advance Auto, Auto Zone, O'Reilly) except with my
Vanagon parts. NAPA beat them by about $30 on the caliper. I've
ordered a number of other things through them and their prices have
been reasonable. However I found that I have to call or stop in for a
price. They're typically higher online.
