front calipers
what alternative caliper fits my 1972 square and were to get them . heard that a lot off places sell them but they are beetle ones smaller piston any advise welcome
Re: front calipers
try the usual places, VWHeritage, Coolair, Custom and Commercial Ect. Make them the first port of call for most things you need, if they cant help they can often recommend a supplier. I often find euro car parts can be helpful, just make sure you check the part quality before buying.

Rumour has it that an E30 caliper can be used

Re: front calipers
Have a read of this thread.... the subject has been covered before and there are some useful links. If the car's not needed as a daily dfriver then I would go the refurb route

Re: front calipers
I have 2 questions to throw into the mix.. What caliper bolt spacing does Your car have?
Where are You?
Most of us have spare calipers eligible for rebuilding knocking around
