    The 68 is leaking fluid form the front left caliper and from what I seen you cant buy replacement calipers, maybe cause there were so few disc brake cars made? I have seen online a rebuild kit. What have you other 68 guys done ? I have never rebuilt my own calipers before any thing I should be aware of ? or is there a replacement caliper from a different year that works? any advice on which way to go would be a help.

    Its leaking from the piston?? If so, I would recommend stainless steel sleeving it. There's a place here that does excellent work called Apple Hydraulics. I had my 4 piston "unobtainium" Riv calipers done there. They do mail order.

    Thanks for the tip Jason I havnt pulled it off yet but it appears it is leaking from pistons , I may be wrong as I havnt ever taken these off but I think mine are 4 piston too. Looks like a good option to keep the car original.
    Anyone else??
