Brake pad retainer pin lost!

[NottsLCR]

Hi,

I changed my pads on my 2003 LCR this weekend but have lost one on the pins that run from the from to the back of the brembo caliper that hold the pad in place, anyone know where i can get one?

I've spoken to Badger but he isnt able to source one, I've also spoken to Brembo but they seem to be strugling to help!

Cheers

Looks like it might have to be a dealer, I think they are quite expensive too.

If the pins are the same you could take it to a machine shop and see if they can knock you one up

main dealers would surely sell these?

they are 86 pounds from seat, and i think thats one side

Thanks for the replies, looks like i will have to ask a mate who works in an engineering firm to make me one as £86 is a bit to expensive though it will teach me to be more careful!

ring a scrap yard mate, ask for a lcr thats breaking.... they may sell you one.

they are not just pins, the end of one of them is a roll pin

You would struggle to get a machine shop to make these for you as they have a spring clip style retainer built into the pin.
Speak to David at Seremotors (forum sponsor)

As Willie said try Dave
Would it be worth trying a mitsubishi dealer ??? the EVO's use Brembo calipers would they be the same pin ???

Jaguar aswell, but would doubt these would be cheaper

type in ebay, leon cupra r breaking salvage

or look for MOTORS IN MOTION ring those, they might have one. or ebay is your best bet for somebody breaking one. £ 86 wow thats cheap... shal we invest in a few for when the scrap goes up..
