Which caliper pinis locking/guide

[SPORK36]

Just got all my parts for my rear disc conversion on my GS. I bought new caliper pins from napa, but which is the locking, and which is the guide. My guess is the one with the groove at the bottom is the locking, one that is just a cylinder is the guide. If someone could let me know if I'm right or wrong, that'd be nice, thanks.

The one with the groove is the guide.

Alright, thanks man. Also, there is supposed to be an o-ring on it correct? Is it just a normal o-ring that fints in the groove, or is it a special piece?

Look at the pins, they're marked L and G on the end. The brake is also marked so you can't mix them up.

on my 1g the pin with the o ring goes on the top of each caliper. probably the same for your 2g.

I got them from Napa and they weren't marked, any answer for my second question? About the o-ring.

i don't mean to get off topic but the guy that i bought the car off stripped one of the bolts so i need a new one, how much did napa have them for?? i called the dealer and they said $12 for only one.

It was around $9 for a pair, (locking and guide)

And I understand which pin is which, but my other question is if the o-ring is special, or if it is just a plain old o-ring you can get at a hardware store.
