poll250 0 Posted February 28, 2008 It was all going so well! Just tightening up the sliders during my 312mm caliper conversion outside and snapppppp! tightened it too much. Does anyone around Oxford have a spare caliper slider lying about!? Best go see if I can get the sheared bit out of the carrier.... Knew I should of bought a torque wrench lol!

boost monkey 0 Posted February 28, 2008 What is a slider, do you mean a carrier? I've got a whole 16v rear beam going spare atm, so pm me if you can use bits off it. Oh yeah, I'm in oxford too ^_^ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted February 28, 2008 Hey man, Thanks for the offer but i think its only on 288 and 312 calipers. It' the part of the carrier that the caliper slides on and has a 7mm allen head in one end. Anyone got one spare anywhere! I'm carless till this is fixed arghhh!

Anton Sobriquet 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Bigg Red specialise in refurbing brake calipers and you can buy all the parts you need from them over the 'phone. Slider pins would be no probs but you might need to buy a pair. Probably worthwhile if one has snapped. Take a look here : http://www.biggred.co.uk/ Edit Oh and make sure you refit the carriers with new bolts! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Cheers Anto, Managed to source some from VW! Not cheap at £12 each though! Won't be making that mistake again in a hurry! Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
