Anyone got a rear brake pad carrier?..Beg!!

[andyfanshawe]

I'm begging........over here in the dark UK......with a worn slider pin on my passenger side rear brake

And to make matters worse, there are none in our breakers yards.

To top that off, its raining and cold And I've got worn slider pins

Can anyone take pity on me and offer to post one out to the UK please? Can pay immediately via paypal. Anyone got one lying around with no sideways play on those pins under the rubber protective sleeves?

And before anybody says, I know the photo shows the other side, but I'm pretty certain that they are the same side to side.

Anybody help me out? Please, please, please, ...............

Andy.

if you email him, maybe he will ship it overseas? worth a shot.

and i also believe the rear caliper brackets are the same left and right.

You want just the pins or the whole bracket?

 

[keatonsdad]

I've got 2 for the rear they are yours if you want them. Send me a pm and we can get the ball rolling.

No parts stores have them for a Taurus, Mustang, Explorer T-bird, Crown Vic.....?? They are all the same if memory serves. Shouldnt need a whole new bracket, just the pin kit.

You should get a list of all the parts you really want that are common auto parts store parts for us and have one of us ship you a box of stuffs. :lol:

that sounds like the front calipers. dont think the rears are that common.
like the early Taurus rears are a "fat" rotor, ours are "skinny".
pins might be the same though.

I am referring to the pins only.

Also Marks have vented (fat) rotors and most other Fords have solid (skinny) rear rotors.

ah.

true. however, the 92 SHO rotors are "fat" at 24.1 mm thickness. the mark rear rotors are only 18 mm thick. both vented.
that's what i meant.

The whole bracket.

Thanks.

Hi.
I have PM'ed him, but he can't find them But he has said he would nip down to the local wreckers yard next week at some point to have a look. But I don't want to put him out of his way and inconvenience him if someone else has some to hand - if you know what I mean?

Would you have a look please?

Thanks.
Andy.

I've got the complete rear brake assemblys sitting in my tool box already, brackets and calipers.

I can send you just the brackets, if that's all you want

You can also fix those guide pins yourself if you've got a vise, some decent vise-grip pliers, some PB Blaster and a nice heat source

Soak it with PB, then heat up the housing around the pin with a torch, lock your vise-grips on the guide pin so you can try and spin it, it takes some effort tho. I've had to get those out of countless cars, Its a very common issue with Fords

Send me a PM if you want my brackets and pins

Also,'take some sandpaper and get the paint off the friction part of the rotor, thatll make the brakes squeak.
And don't forget to put your sway link back together

 

[slowmkviii]

Sapp said hes got one but ill still check tomorrow just in case. I need to move my parts from storage to my house anyway.

 

[Sapperfire]

Yes, I've got some...

And a couple of extra Guide Pins too...

Hi Sapperfire.
I'm sending a PM!

Just FYI, the pins are too slack in the housings. Too much slack/sloppiness. We dont have PBlaster in the UK, but I have oxyacetylene

Drop links and sway bar are being powdercoated as we speak!! Making some poly bushes for it as well.

Rotors are brand spanking new (Rockauto) and powdercoated on the less important bits!

Like you, I am a veteran of many thousands of brake changes - BUT I am in the wrong country!! Wanna swap

Hi slowmarkviii.
I have PM'ed sapperfire but thank you for the offer. Much appreciated!!

i still need 4 plastic cowl pins and an air filter case bolt though!!

Thanks again. A nice feeling that there are people who actually care enough to go out of their way to help someone else in a far away land!!

Andy.

hmm. painted my rotors before i put them on, front and rear. no squeak.

Did you paint where the pad rubs?

And Hell yeah I'll swap, I F*ing hate America, this country breeds stupidity.

 

[chris2523]

Did you paint where the pad rubs?

yeah. then got them hot and they cleaned off. then took it apart to remove all the stray flakes of paint. my rotors have zero rust. its awesome.
did it on mom's LS when we did the rear rotors on it a few months ago as well.

 

[andyfanshawe]

Sapperfire has just been quoted $195 to ship the part to me in the UK via UPS!! WTF?

Makes me feel annoyed because he has gone to the trouble of packaging and going to the post office just to be, well, insulted. Sorry sapperfire.
i could drive over there and get it cheaper.

Andy.

 

[LSC HUNTER]

Sapper, send it USPS to me and then I can forward it Canada Post to the UK it will be really cheap in the long run.

 

[slowmkviii]

Try usps they are normally a lot cheaper to ship with internationally.

[slowmkviii]

Did this get figured out?

 

[Sapperfire]
