Can anyone help me identify these calipers? They have HB on the side of them.

Sure! What did you take them off? :)

Bike caliper? Looks kind of like a BMW motorcycle caliper but they usually have BMW embossed on them as well

Nope, doesn't look like any BMW motorcycle caliper I've ever seen and I think I've seen most types they use(d).

In reply to John Brown:

I don't know what they came off.

This is what I get when I google up "HB brake caliper"

The casting mark says 2/93, so it could be an older version of this, a Hayes Brake Light Duty Hydraulic Caliper. Everything else looks identical.

I love you guys. The Baja team just told me that their design report is due tonight and they don't have a braking system designed and they had those calipers laying around so I am trying to save their asses.

I'd call/email HBPSI directly, and if they don't sell pads I bet they can tell you who does.

Besides that, any SAE team worth their weight in scrap aluminum can (or should) be able to design a brake pad if they've already got the caliper right there. Talk to a manufacturer (I'd recommend Carbotech, they're pretty flexible) to get a short run of pads.

I know what they are not off of. Not Nissan Maxima 97. Not a Gran Marquis. Not from an 03 GTI. Does that help?
