Re: Brakes - How to tell them apart?

["Marie Laugesen" <scirocco@telus.net>]

 Speaking of brakes... my '84 and '88 have different front calipers!  Same
size rotors. vented and all... but the calipers are different.... they're
both 8Vs... could it be because the 84 is an early one (9/83) and the 88 is
a late 88 (3/88)?  I'm just curious.
