1991 RV6a not built by me, but wanting to get some spare parts, o rings, pads etc but cannot determine the brand of caliper. I see in the log that pads used in past were Matco PN WHLM 66-106 and rotors/disk Cleveland PN 164-01700. Here is what the caliper looks liike. Thanks...Butch

Looks like Cleveland to me.

Probably Cleveland. But if it turns out not, given its vintage and sand cast appearance, it might be a Cleveland clone made by Fred Rosenhan way back in the day.

Fred was better known for the inside-caliper brakes later made by Matco, but I've heard he once dabbled in Cleveland-pattern outside-caliper brakes.

Vans part# BRAKE PAD KIT 5:00x5 sells (or used to) are Matco kit WHLBRL-1
which have the 66-106 pads in it & are pretty common.

Caliper o-ring should be MS28775-218. I haven't ran into a 5" wheel caliper that this doesn't fit yet.

I once replaced a rotor with a Rapco replacement part & if I remember right, I had to shim the caliper as the rotor was a smidge thicker than the original.

Looks like Cleveland to me.

I returned to hangar and removed the wheel pant on right main and found a label on the rim which is a Cleveland 40-77.

Thanks Ralph, this is indeed my end game, some spares for the day that will come.
