    I have just removed and dismantled the Calipers from my 1970 L series Dino, one of the rear caliper halves had a broken off bleeder screw, I tried to remove it but broke off an easy-out.
    I wonder if anyone has a rear right hand caliper half, these are the three pot types.
    I know these were used on Fiat Dinos but does anyone know of any other cars that used them.
    I am also looking for the Girling part number of the rebuild kits
    Thanks
    Ian

    Ian, you are welcome. By the way, have Goldline repair the master cylinder and the hanbrake mechanisms while you're at it. Best of luck! Alberto

    you can have the broken easy out removed by edm. you can not use an easy out for this application because if the hole you drill is not perfectly centered, you will by pass fluid thru the bleeder seat. edm will burn out the broken tap/easy out and save the threads.

    these calipers are a monster to fix, but they are also found on Porsche 914 six cylinder cars.

    rebuild kits are available on the internet.

    if you are a have to be diy er you can accomplish this rebuild with alot of patience and a careful approach, other wise leave it to the pros and pay pay pay
    luck

    Thanks Clay, but these calipers aren't the same as the 914 or later 246's, the L series cars use the three pot Girling ones.
