Need help identifing these calipers.

I don't know what these are, i.e., manufacturer.

They look like a standard Karmann Ghia front caliper...

Not sure but I'd use harder bolts to hold it to the bracket, 12.9s, not 8.8s.

They look like VW type III front calipers with the 2pins holding pads in place.
Also there are many kits available.
CB Performance sells disc brake kits and parts.
8.8 on bolts equal a Grade 5 rating.
10.9 on bolts equal a Grade 8 rating.
With anything to do with brakes you need be using the highest grade of bolts.
You don't want a bolt shearing in panic stop.

The Type 1 & Type 3 2-pin pad calipers should be same.

I appreciate the responses and the advice, just put 12.9 bolts on all four corners. This little buggy has a long way to go before it's gonna be driven. Now to get a longer brake line to the rear brakes and we will be rolling!
