It was first stamped 227 as it appears, and was then restamped 049 by the looks of its assembly stamp?

This is too cool !!! My calipers are RH casting# 204 with date restamped 48?, and LH casting# 355 date stamped 32. I thought one got replaced but maybe not now, given how close the build day is for our two cars.

It's uncanny the similarities between these 2 cars built within a day of each other Rob. It's like the same batch of parts were being picked over by the same guys on the same lines, but a shift apart from each other. I take it there must have been a run of calipers dug out and re-stamped that particular week where they used whatever was left in old inventory? Maybe they ran short on production or they deliberately cleared out old stock. Cool to know for sure.
