Try contacting Lonestar or CSSB Inc.

If you don't mind me quoting your intro, I'm assuming you are looking for the actual sleeves, since you can do the machining work yourself.

Im trying to keep costs down for the vette owners . I also purchased a new lathe and milling ( bridgeport ) machine to lower costs for customers. Thanks for allowing me to join this great group.

From one machinist to another: I'd just buy rebuilt calipers. I salute your desire to buy American, but why handcuff yourself for such a niche market?

Default Thanks for reply.

Yes I've bought latest milling and lathe machines. Mention Corvette and price starts with a $150 then the job ?? Not many people want to do this work properly and shipping costs are outrageous at this point of time. Spoke to Ken and he's got trouble getting parts also. I'm shipping 5 sets of inner side yoke axles to be rebuild at ken's. Trying to buy 🇺🇸 USA but hard. Thanks for advice .
