I upgraded to 80MM calipers a few years ago while at a Bean Station rally. Rob Mueller helped me do that by the way. We have not heard from Rob in a while. I hope he is OK.
Anyway, while cleaning out my GMC's pod yesterday I noticed a box with the stock calipers that I have been carrying for the past few years. I had meant to get rid of them after the rally but forgot all about them until yesterday. I also forgot about how heavy they are.
I'm getting ready to go our county's Recycling Drop-off Center (SOCCRA)to get rid of a load of other car parts from past repairs.
Should I dump the old calipers or are they something someone else would want? I sure don't want them anymore.

If memory serves, Advance Auto gave me $25 each for the old ones as cores.

Richard,
I will take the if you're going to throw them out, I need a pair of 70MM
for a project. If you can hold on to them until the 15th of next month
thenWhen I gen home from Tucson. I will pay for shipping them. I believe
that they will fit in a USPS Flat Rate Box.

Soon after I posted about the calipers I got a PM from someone local who wants them and will pick them up from me later this week.

Those calipers are not available.
We will purchase them as they are rebuilt.
