Looking for a pair of front calipers for a 2000 beaver patriot concord 33
-
Try a GOOGLE search for the parts. There is a left and right side caliper, it appears.
I used "2Pcs Front Brake Calipers OE# 14179001 for Ford L800 1984 ..." as the search argument.

Chuck,
They are available at most heavy truck suppliers, I believe that I used Fleet Pride, but looking on line it appears that many suppliers are currently out of stock. You may need to call around to find someone who has a set sitting on the shelves. Not really much help, but they are out there.

I’ve been looking for a couple week found one on eBay and fleet pride has one problem is they are from two different manufacturers . I would prefer to get two from the same. I called beaver coach sales and they said they have two but from the part # I gave him that fits up to 1997 year ,so now I’m waiting till Monday for there guy who specializes in these older beavers to call me back to confirm the correct number.
If I knew what these actually were used on other than our coaches I could prob get kits I’d rebuild them myself. Im questioning buying this thing now.

Maybe these numbers will help

That is the # I gave beaver coach sales , Steven said it showed to fit up to 97. Their obsolete. Parts guy that knows beavers is going to confirm that Monday . The one you posted looks correct from what I remember when I did my air bags . I’ll let you know Monday.. that shows to be a new caliper also which would be nice.

If your coach is air over hydraulic or hydraulic over hydraulic brakes the oem calipers were made by Dayton as was most of the suspension parts .
Dayton has since been acquired by the Bendix corporation the 55252 number is a Bendix number.
Those calipers should not be too bad to find as they where used by Ford on there medium duty trucks F700 and F800 in and around the mid to late ninety's.
They were also common on International 3800 series school bus chassis of that era.
There are companies out there that sell rebuilt units for as little as $100. USD .
Those calipers are set up to be used on right or left allowing one part number to do all four corners of your coach.
As you can see there are many companies selling the same caliper under their own part number as can be seen in the cross reference section of the link below.
I have used the Centix calipers I mentioned earlier and they work fine on all four corners.
Give your local truck parts supplier a call and give the either the Bendix number or the Centrix number and they should have no problem getting you what you need.

Ok so there are two brake systems beaver used on the 2000 patriot, they use different rotors a d calipers . Mike at beaver sent me pics of the two different rotors to determine the caliper for mine. Part # that’s one thing I do not like with any business is to hide the oem# and put their own # on them. So bc9058 is their part #
I’ll get the pic of the different rotors and post them. $330 each 105 shipping and a $26 fee to use a charge card. I was getting worried I may not be able to find them and I got one hanging up. so what the hell
Mine used the white looking one
