Hi folks. Thank you, for any help here!
So, I've been going through the brake system on the front of the 2008 Jonway yy150t-2 and one of the caliper guide pin bolts for the brake pads was so frozen in there that after 2 days of trying everything from liquid wrench type lubes, heat, cold, banging it with a hammer, different hex wrenches... it stripped inside the head. I drilled out the head and down the center to get an extractor in there and yes, it broke in there. I got some vice grips onto it between the two brake pads, it's a no budge situation.
I've found a couple of used calipers listed on Ebay yet, answers to determine if their caliper will fit on MY bracket, are very slow and mostly, lazy .Even for new ones, I'm having a really hard time finding input on what ones will work for my scooter and bracket. I have measured center to center the caliper to bracket mounting holes (64-65mm).
I'm reaching the limit of what this scooter is even worth considering, I still need a seat and a tire for sure (Another $100 - $120) so, I can't just throw money at and "make a wish"
that what I order is correct. And at this point, I really need to find the best pricing, new OR used. Even the new ones that I see, may be oriented the same as mine but list no specs, even though the same listing always warns you to check your specs before ordering, insinuating that they are unwilling to accept returns . How in the world are MY specs any use if the sellers don't list theirs and take forever to answer a request for info ? Even when they do reply, they don't know much of anything helpful. And in the listings, either the bracket isn't pictured because it doesn't come with one, is different, or doesn't clearly show the bracket to compare mine against.
Is anyone here familiar with the compatibility of the calipers? I found a couple, used. One is said to come from a "2008 SUNL 150CC Scooter, with 12" wheels " www.ebay.com/itm/171939823520?item=171939823520&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr
Then theres this one... from a Jonway that I'm not sure if it's the same as mine. I dont see "MC-13" referred to on any of the identifying plates on my scoot.

If I could even be SURE of which new one would be correct, I may go that route too . I KNOW there are some very helpful vendors out there but, I'm not running into them on THIS lap around the track.
Here's MY caliper...
