Hi,
Time to end my lurker status, now that I have something to ask :-) I have a 74 1.8 Z-green, (recently acquired) and I'm renewong the rear brakes this weekend (pads and rotors). Now that I have everything apart I find I need those cross-shaped clips that push against the backs of the brake pads. Can anyone suggest how I might find these locally? Are these ATE calipers the same as for a lot of cars of this vintage? Could I try to find VW parts, for example? Anyone know what else would fit? Or suggest a likely source? Do I need to buy caliper rebuild kits to get these? Thanks! Joe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Call Pelican Parts.
You are looking for a "Pad Retainer" kit. This will include the cross like piece in the pic above, the two pad bars, and two bar pins (not sure what all this stuff is really called). Not listed on their site, but I know they have them! Karl |
