I'm taking apart a front disk brake/A-arm assemblies from a '69 Z28 wrecked in 1970.
These are virgin ;) calipers that has never been rebuilt.
There is a single number '9' cast into each caliper that looks like it could be a date code.
Were the calipers date coded?
The single number '9' is made in the casting by what looks like a replaceable die (you can see a slotted screw impression).
I have seen Julian date codes & it's not like that, it's cast not stamped. It's more like what would be on a water pump without the Month letter & day number just a '9' on the end (blank, blank,9).
They also have the number 22 stamped into each of them on one of the edges where you would put the pads into.
Maybe it was a batch number. I could post a pic if anyone's interested.
Thanks in advance.
