Out of spite I am buying the first one and if my original bore is not pitted, swap the seals.
Sad they can sell us a whole unit for 36$ but won't sell us the seals for 15$, They would make more profit selling the seals.
Its almost like you have to fight being a do it yourself guy these days. |
Amazon says that the second one does not fit a 1968 GTO but does fit a 1969 GTO. Don't know what their parameters were for that conclusion.
Sort of related, I'm just in the middle of rebuilding my front disc brakes, converted by the previous owner. I didn't know what he used for the conversion so I just rolled the dice and ordered all lines, seals, bearings and caliper rebuild sets for a '69 GTO. It all fits perfectly.
