Yep.
Glad you've got the car back and are enjoying driving it again and if it's working ok, then that's the main thing. But I really have no idea what your garage is talking about.
There is only one caliper used on the back of preludes over a 10 year span. They're readily available from any/everywhere so I don't know how on earth they say they got the wrong one and couldn't get the right one.
And as for 'modifying' a caliper to make it fit?
All very odd I'm afraid...

Thanks to Sam aka Samiya85 for the calipers.
