Hello all,

Hope you can help me. My mechanic called me. Some bad news so far.

Seems the hit on the passenger side claimed the brake caliper. Due to the
fluid loss he can't tell if the caliper is a girling or ATE. He did not
seem to see other things bent, but he is still looking. I can only expect
the worse.

My Vanagon is a 85 tin top. Is there anyway to figure out which calipers go
on that vanagon? or to tell them apart?

Thanks,
Tony
