WANTED~: Front Caliper pins

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

WANTED~: Front Caliper pins

Post by LASEROWL » Wed Mar 02, 2011 10:07 am

2 x Front Caliper pins wanted.
These are for the vented disc calipers, I have obtained two calipers in very good condition but alas the pins on one are missing.
I know i can still buy these as a refurb kit, but thought i'd ask on here first.

When I wanted to replace those pins I was told that it's not allowed to sell them seperatly from the brake bracket for safety reasons. You have to replace the complete bracket if the pins are rusted, which was the case with my pins. This is because if the pins are rusted the surface of the holes from the bracket is also pitted and this will cause the pins to rust again very quickly.
