I sent mt brake calipers out for re-build and left them complete with the pads, the 2 pins that hold the pads and spring retainer clip. when i got them back, all the hardware was missing.
Where can I get the retaining spring and the 2 pins that locate the pads in place????

If you cant find a set of pins I will sell you a set of stock rear calipers super cheap.

like 20 bucks for the pair...

LarrryR, if jrthomasec doesn't take you up on the calipers, I will. I'm in need of some, as my project car came sans rear calipers. (Fun drive home that day headbang.gif ) PM sent.

The same place you sent them to be rebuilt. Just call and politely ask around about them- it wouldn't surprise me if they set the pins and clips aside to rebuild them and then forgot to include them when they returned them to you.

agree.gif If it was me, this happens. I get so many calipers in it's hard to keep track of the extra hardware. I'll send newly plated goodies back. wink.gif

they sent me a new hardware kit b/c they lost the old ones, but they are the wrong pins. I need the ones with the lobes. they just sent the straight pins.
It doesn't matter now. I have a used set of calipers comming with the hardware.

My car has been sitting too long, its driving me nuts..... headbang.gif
