Front caliper 74 270 M400

Unread post by KeenLalou2 » Sat Dec 05, 2020 2:30 pm

Got the Cardone 18-4271 and 4272 rebuilt units. The tube connection on the new units is a copper flat washer hydraulic seal where the old caliper was a beveled washer hydraulic seal. Can anyone tell me if there is a conversion to mount one to the other? Or are the hoses listed in DavesCheiftain site compatible with the flat washer seal on the cardone replacement calipers?

Answered my own question with a little more digging into the specifications on the Cardone 18-4271&72 calipers. The newer calipers match the new hose numbers Dave's site. The caliper/hose interface on both is the 7/16th-20 using the copper washer. Hoses are proving to be a rare commodity right now. But, local NAPA is supposed to deliver the 21" units by the end of the week. The 15" may be available a few days earlier.
