I purchased this set from Mark at Adirondack for $219 including the needed
brake hoses (in braided stainless) and fittings. Looks like Rennen has them
for $185 w/rubber brake hoses and fittings. The original cast calipers are
about 5 1/2 lbs. each, the new ones are a little over 3 lbs. each.

Cool. I remember now, it was the brake line and parking brake cable
that was
the wild card. That clears it up. Thanks Galen!
Where did you get the calipers from? The best price I've found so
far is $199.00/pair
from Eurospec Sport (http://www.eurospecsport.com/), but I don't know
if they come with
lines.
