Parts...and how to kill a weekend

Guys,
The good news is that I found my brake leak. My right rear caliper lost its seal on the hand brake cam-lever-actuator-johnson-rod doohicky.
After pre-paying two day in advance I finally got a caliper from Murray's. Turns out the thing was not even close. I wound up redrilling the mounts and then grinding them too...And now I can't use my parking brake because the casting was wrong.

Sooo...the local dealer is "overnighting" a part that won't get here until Monday.
Moral? I don't know...I'm pissed and venting. Life sucks when your brakes are bad.

Question: where do _you_ buy your parts? I need an education.

our cars have 4wheel abs, so you need the rear calipers and pads also.

Thanks for the link, Dustbuster.

And Clac225, a Limequat without an E-Brake is like a monkey without a tail.
