caliper pin - 10/5/2008 10:24:20 PM    bluebeard Posts: 241 Joined: 6/25/2007 From: Adelaide South Australia Status: offline I replaced my front brake pads recently. One of the pins the pads slide on was so seized I ended up having to drill it out. I welded it back together just to get by but it''s an accident waiting to happen. Question...does anyone have one spare out of an old caliper or know where I can get one? I just don''t trust my welding that much. Post #: 1

I wanted to fit later calipers to my 90 model, and they (97''s) won''t even fit that, so I was told..... (in reply to MarkR) Post #: 4
