Alternative pad pin
Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2014 8:45 am
I am sure plenty of you have had the joy of trying to get the original steel pad pin out of the calliper body - thankfully they don't salt the roads here so I have been fortunate that they only needed some penetrating oil to shift.
Stainless steel pins have been available for some time but while buying pins for a set of Brembo's I discovered you could also get them with Gold nitrate coating
So a set was ordered
The company who make them have also drilled them so they can be lock wired so ideal for race bikes too - they make them for nearly all kinds of callipers
Going to order up new retainer springs now as they are letting down the side
