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) |

Thanks for all the replys, folks.
Yep ,that's it, I need pad retainer kits. That tin piece in the picture posted by Jeff is now two pieces on mine. I'll call PP on Monday - too bad they're about as far away from me as you can get without a passport. It'll probably talk two weeks to get 'em.
