Try your parts store for this.

Thanks,but i need more info.The parts store has about 4 different calipers for late 70's to early 80's celica.It can be a celica,celice gt,supra,celica st,and there is a difference from 78 to an 80.ANY more information would be helpful. somebody has to have a part number,wouldnt you think?
-
It will say if its a 2" or 2 1/8" on the caliper casting itself, that should narrow it down some for you.
I do not have my brake parts line ready yet, but am working on it...s l o w l y.
I think they changed them in 1980.
It should also cross reference with the Corolla of the same vintage...maybe that will help get you closer?
Otherwise order from 600/US Legends

Stick with the 70 - 80 vintage. The Celica ST or GT did not come into play until 85.
A couple of Raybestos Numbers;
76-79 Celica 2 1/8" Left; RWC45519 - Right; RWC45518
74-75 Celica 2" Left; RWC45517 - Right; RWC45516
You might have to go to an independent or NAPA store to locate them as most chain parts stores; Autozone, Kragen's etc will probably not have them which is what I have found in my experience.
Good Luck,

Thank you very much,yhat is what i needed.Is there one that is prefered size wise over the other? thanks again
-
I was able to get them through Autozone. Took a couple of attempts but they finally got the correct ones. I tried Napa, but they wanted me to pay the shipping to get them from the warehouse to the store. >:(
-
still having trouble,do you have the part number from auto zone?They tell me the raybestos part number is no good,but im still trying.
-
I will see if I can find the numbers tonight. What I had to do was have them look up the calipers by for the 76-79 Celica. Make sure to have them show you the picture of the caliper before they order it in and if you have the caliper off of the car, take it in to compare. Advance Auto parts was able to get the rotors but could not find a caliper that would match.

Here is link to a bunch of part numbers (Give it a second to load);

Hope this helps.
For what it is worth I do not repalce but rebuild all of my calipers...It is cheaper, unless you have to buy piston(s) but then they are good forever after that and I have quality control...

rsrr,
why not just get them from your local 600 dealer? If you don't have a local dealer, I have these in stock, and would be happy to ship a set to you. I know pricewise they are about the same as you will find from NAPA, Autozone, etc...
I don't know the part number off hand, but would be happy to get it if you still need it.
If you want to order these, my number is 585-721-1795. I will ship them right out.

thanks for the offer,the reason for trying locally was just to save time waiting on shipping.How much are calipers?
-
A brake caliper through 600 racing costs $54.95 according to their site.

Ron, did you ever get the caliper part numbers you were looking for (or atleast which make and model Toyota is correct)?
I am now looking for the same thing, specifically the Autozone part numbers.
Thanks,
Gerad

I just got 76-81 toyota celica/supra calipers from NAPA. They seem alright, however I kept my old brackets and slides because the new ones they gave me seemed tight to go together.

Ron,
Speedrome was pretty good. Won my heat race, first time at the track. But they made me start 17th out of 18 in the feature because it was my first time there. Finished 12th, not bad. They don't have drivers meetings, or any real interaction with officials (incouding no using raceivers). It was a little confusing just knowing what we were supposed to do. Luckily there are enough other drivers we knew that we could ask them questions (I couldn't even find an official at one point).
Yes, we will be back this Saturday, not running Sundays there. Hopefully we'll see you there!
Thanks for the answer on the brakes, where did you get your rebuild kits? I'm leaning towards making the attempts through Autozone to find the replacment caliper.

You can look them up on Internet they are cadone 19-144 and 19-145 they sat a and b on them theses are the two inch talked to company that used to rebuild two inch for uslc and people stopped ordering two inch nd ordering the bigger ones I like theses ones better
-
To expand on what I was saying old calipers say 2015 on them and 2a and 2b two inch bore car done is just a way of cross reference these have ordered several that way just last week and got them in right
-
Do not install off the shelf rebuild kits, you are going to have the same issues in a few races. They are not designed for the heat.
-
dennis,thanks for the help sat,our brakes are better than ever now.Hope to see you again soon..thanks again
-
If u polish piston and add a 2 dollar o ring these calipers are as good as any without spending the money
-
true that
-
if you call that good, ok.
-
Are you just trying to downplay people figuring ways to make stuff work without spending all that money have tried brakeman and all that stuff see one of the number one cars winning every week in nc with same calipers or u trying to sell parts on this forum thought this used to be about racers trying to race without spending with a NASCAR budget
-
Play nice.
For the budget minded, polishing the piston is a cheap DIY solution.
For those that can afford to spend the money, buy whatever.

My stock calipers that came used on the car in 2007 are still on mine.
Granted, one of them started leaking this week, so I'm rebuilding it.
I race on dirt, not asphalt, so I don't put alot into the brake system. I know there is a difference, but on my personal car, I just can't justify the cost.
I stock calipers from USLC , and I stock Brake Man calipers...whatever my customers ask for, they can have. ;D
-
you can polish stock and you pretty much have the same thing. It all depends how much you use your brakes at your track. If you don't use a lot of brakes then polish and be done. Again just a opinion
