Hello,

I am rebuilding the complete brake system at the moment. My front caliper guide pins were completely stuck. I had to drill them out. Needless to say now I have no new guide pins to put in once my brakes come back from powdercoating ...

Note: I am referring to the front guide pins who hold the pads in place. The ones that are just pushed in and have a cotter pin to prevent them from moving out.

Does anyone have a reference or source where to get new ones ? I need all 4 of them ! Mazdatrix does not carry them anymore. But I am sure there are other sources for these pins. Someone must have had the same problem at some point. Worst case I have to get them machined ... Btw can't I use FD pins ?

Many thanks for your support !

Brgds
Steven

You can buy the whole kit for slightly more than the single pin from Atkins.

Rock auto stocks the brake hardware kits as well.

 

FD is the same as well

 

HEY!..who you callin' *** SWELL?...

The pins come in the Hardware kit,.

 

D'oh, I never thought about checking Atkins for these pins ...

@RXSpeed16
The Napa sounds reasonable but how do you know that you got the right kit for the FC ?

I might as well try our local part store, I have no faith in them but maybe with a part number they will be able to bring something up.

@j9fd3s
FC and FD guide pins are identical ?

As for the Hardware kit I already have that one ordered minus the pins as they were not avaialble.
