Ordered a new front right bendix from FCP last week to replace a binding one on my brick. Took it in without looking at the part too closely (just an eyeball to be sure it "matched" and was the bendix) and get a call from my mechanic (I don't do brakes myself) where he tells me the caliper I got was one hose, and my system uses a two hose.

Anyone familiar with this? FCP told me their parts suppliers only list 10-3302A, and that that was the one I was sent. However, I haven't modified my brick and it shipped with these calipers, so obviously there is a two hose version as well. Even internet parts places I order from like Importec only list one caliper, although that could just as easily be because the other isn't available. Anyone familiar with this? Do I have the only Brick accidentally released with two hose Bendix calipers?

FCP said they would refund my money, but that doesn't really help me since now I have to spend twice as much buying the part from my mechanic, thus defeating the whole reason I ordered the part early online. Also I feel like a heel for wasting his time with my mismatched part (I think buying my own parts is fine, but buying the WRONG part and wasting his time is not). So much for the "FCP knows it all" theory of certain brickboarders... I'm back to ordering my own parts from the actual listings.


Thanks,
rt
