ok, i need to get these "guide plates" for a front 4 piston caliper, as shown below (piece number 9).



i ordered a brake hardware kit from NAPA, but it didn't include them.

i looked up the part # in the 86-88 fiche catalog (it's nowhere to be seen in the S5 fiche), but it looks like it only lists it as part of the brake pads.

where do i get this (as either part of a kit or seperately)? does anyone have an individual Mazda part number?

thanks

Junk/Salvage Yard. Thats about it. Did you loose yours or are you upgrading to the 4 piston calipers? If I was in the US right now instead of being stuck in this hell hole, Iraq, I could send you a set. To bad I'm here. Good luck with finding those.

although it shows...im almost positive those guideplates where never even used. anyways....they serve no purpose so whats the point of waisting 10 bucks?

Check with your local Mazda dealer, they will most likely be able to pull that up for you

I just removed some calipers and they were not installed. I have never seen them on the calipers..

While this topic is up, I need part numbers 4 and 3, if anyone has them or knows where I can find them.....?

to answer some of the comments,
- a junkyard is not really an option around here, at least nothing with a salvagable 4 pot caliper within a days drive probably. thanks rotarymarine for the offer

- limbar85: i know you have installed these calipers before, so you are saying you didn't need these at all? they most likely serve some purpose, possibly ensuring the pads stay in the proper position?

anyways, 2 of you have said they aren't needed, maybe you are right.

i am putting all 4 rebuilt TII calipers on my S5 base. i purchased one caliper that was "semi-loaded" and the other that was "bare". the semi-loaded one came with these guide plates...

just go to your mazda dealer if you buy the new pads they come with the springs and everything else you should just go to the mazda dealer .

i will not be buying stock pads, that is basically why i am asking. i do not think they will include these guide plates...

these parts i actually got in the "brake hardware kit" that i bought from NAPA (any other similar parts store will have it). it was only about $15...

i thought i might post all the stuff in parts fiche catalogs:

Excellent, thank you very much. I had looked into this "brake parts kit" before at my local NAPA but they couldn't tell me what was in it. I'm going in tomorrow to order one.

Thanks again!
