what would identify assembly line brake calipers on a 67 GT350 and 500? Casting numbers no doubt but what ones please.

When was the car completed at San Jose?


For the basics the 350 and 500 used the same calipers for the same production periods

Early cars had same as 65-66 with 3/8 hose. Later had 7/16 with tell tale reinforcing bar. Your dates if Ford build date would suggest all are the later

Assembly-line calipers on late '66 into '67 GT350/GT500 typically had Kelsey-Hayes casting numbers like C7ZX-2B120-A or similar. Look for the reinforcing bar on later units (post-Jan '67), plus 7/16 hose fitting vs early 3/8. Your dates suggest you'll find mostly the later ones.

Some also had a small "KH" oval cast in. Originals differ slightly from service parts, so double-check those fine details. 😊

Do you have a picture of a caliper with a C7ZX-2b120-A casting number?
