I thought the RD's had rear disk brakes. If not find one that does at the wreckers and take all the goodies. Might need the parking brake cable and brackets too if they're different than yours.

Whats gunna hold his caliper in place? You will need the spindle assembley most likely as well.

Yeah, that's what I figured. I guess I should have elaborated on the goodies I think he would need. Basically everything from the spindle on out plus any brackets and the e-brake cable if different than his just to be sure everything is there.

And I wasn't accusing you of being (or thinking you were) a dummy. Sometimes on here you have to talk to the least experienced person who could be interested in reading the topic, not just the one who asked the question. I know a lot of people would have forgotten the spindle and just left with the caliper and rotor.
