85 TDT wagon rear brake caliper interchange

I seem to remember that my California spec TDT wagon had two types of rear calipers- Bendix? and ATE . Any issues with putting ATE on if in fact it has Bendix ? They seem to be unobtainium...... same hoses, rotors ?

I recall that one had wire type hardware retainers and the ATE 's had the spring clips..?

As long as you get pairs and you get WAGON calipers you will be fine

And .......... there will be no difference as far as rotors and hoses are concerned.

Whats the difference between rear wagon and sedan/coupe calipers?

Im going to guess bigger cylinders for more braking power?

Yes the bores on the wagon are one very slight size larger. All other parts are the same though, pads, clips etc.

There is no functional difference between the ATE and Bendix brands.
