Rear Brake Caliper, Piston Adjustment Screw Cover Options

[Cjllong]

I've done brake jobs before, but this is the first one I've done on a 914. It's a good thing I started out on Honda's and had a working knowledge of brakes! Anyway, the tech article from Pelican was awesome and they weren't kidding about stripping the inner-piston-adjustment-screw-cover on the rear caliper. One came off fine, but the other needed a removal of the entire caliper and an easy-out. "DAMN" I said to myself, "this parts gonna be hard to replace." Well, I can't seem to find it. Anybody have a pair of the aftermarket ones they want to part with? I put a bolt in it for now. It could be a permanent fix, but it kills me to think it's in there!

the only problem i have with the caliper plug with the hex head is that you cannot rotate the caliper because the hex head doesn't clear the hole in the trailing arm. that is, if you remove one caliper mounting bolt and loosen the other, the caliper is prevented from moving because the hex head hits the side of the adjusting hole so you have to remove the whole caliper. this would be what happens if you needed to replace the rear disc rotor. but the hex head cover is better than nothing.
