4 pot calliper pad pins and clips
Turbo Mini Forums

Any one know where I can get the pins and clips (spring things) for 4 pot metro vented callipers, everywhere I've looked they're discontinued.

I said I'd do it, there's no need to remind me every 6 months!!

Minispares do them

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Minispares are noted out of stock Graham

As above and have been for months, thinking they might be discontinued

Thanks for the link

...any objection to drive without the clips? Apart from some wiggle of the pads, I can't think why not.

Once I had deeper and deeper pedal. No leaks. Reason? The clips were for the 4 pot calipers, however they were too narrow, intended for the solid disc version, while I use vented discs. The clip slipped between the metal backside of the pads and acted as a spring to push back the pistons after braking. So the volume to displace became bigger and bigger before the pads touched the disc...

To be fair, i took the pads out. Of minne as they were catching the wheel weights

I leave all the spring clips and shims out of the MX5 -makes pad changes much simpler and quicker. They are only there to stop squealing and I and the tyres do enough of that anyway.
