Mine is toast. Bleeder screw broke off and is frozen in there. I plan on getting it repaired but the thought of not driving in July is very upsetting.
If anyone had any spares please let me know.

Still working on a Canadian source. Gjz made a very nice offer but we were both shocked at the price of shipping US to Canada.
Tonight I opened up the calliper. Rather easy but not the access I was hoping for.
At least now I can try and weaken the extractor and apply some fire.
GT6 on caster in July. Not a pretty sight.
Check out Rock Auto They have 1980 brake caliper for $35. getting out a broken easy-out is no fun. I use too rebuild Caliperd & brake boosters to pay for school back in the 70's. Cheers, Bob
Success.
Thank you gjz30075 for setting me up with 2 used brakes.
Two units came in the box. One a 16PB and the other a 16P.
The right hand one was able to be recovered. I removed the old fluid, dried up seals and popped out the pistons which were in good enough shape to deem this caliper will work for the summer.
After a fair bit of cleaning and work it went onto the GT6. I did use the seal from the 16PB left side caliper since my dust seals from the GT6 brake were different.
Once I screwed the hose down, added some extra fluid to the master it was time to do a pump test.
No leaks, good pressure. Tonight we do the bleed and a road test. Very exciting.
Gee thanks. Snow ;)
Tested out good today. I still need to bleed the system to make sure all is well but felt good on the quick run I did.
