Here is another shot of the rear caliper. The rear caliper on a 427 Street Cobra is made out of cast iron. In the photo you can see the original brass Lucas brake line fitting that is screwed into the caliper. The brake flex lines then bolt into that brass fitting. The fitting is screwed down to the caliper by a banjo bolt and crush washers. We have capped the brake line with an AN #3 cap. ALWAYS cap your brake lines! If you leave them open, crap will find its way inside and eventually make it to the caliper pistons...

Call Kirkham and spend big $$$ to get my caliper fixed.
These calipers are one of the big reasons why making an EXACT copy of an original 427 Street Cobra (or a 289 Street Cobra) is almost impossible. These calipers are a strange beast. They are EXTREMELY rare and as such are worth a small fortune. But, no one really wants them as they want the big aluminum Girling calipers like the Comp 289's, Comp 427's and, 427 S/C's had. They are a strange 3 piston caliper and they are IMPOSSIBLE to find now. The "Big Aluminum Girlings" are just that...they are BIG and they will NOT fit under wire wheels.
