Okay....I give., Brake spring clips.. Options

[SpecialK]

I rebuilt my rear calipers, and they came out sweet, but the pad pins and retainer springs look like crap. I surfed around but can't seem to find them anywhere...is there a source for these I missed?

I jest bought the springs from pelican, last week.

Hmmm...oh, yeah...there they are. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif)

I must have looked at the PP index 6 times and still missed "REAR CALIPER PAD RETAINING SPRINGS". Still looking for the pins, and $39 - $49 bucks for 4 pins and 2 spring clips is friggin' robbery, I'll lathe my own out at work before I pay that.

"Z" - I agree that they'll never be seen, but these are half rusted away (pins), and the spring is looking kind of brittle from the rust and Ospho bath, don't know that I trust them.

Speaking of POR coatings....I have found the perfect way to reseal the small POR cans after you've opened them. The saran wrap method is a PITA, and not very effective, #18 Capplugs (shown) fit perfect, are tapered which creates a suction inside the can (burps like tupperware), POR won't stick to them (reusable), and the best part...they're free (throw-aways from work). Anybody want one (two or three)? Give me a holler.
