Brake Pad Pins

Post by Wombat » Sun Apr 28, 2013 9:04 am

I lost one of my pad pins for the rear brake on a long ride yesterday.
Gonna get 1 or 2 from the wreckers tomorrow.
Can these pins be safety wired?
Its funny I lost the pin but not the little R clip

All fixed - was able to get pins and clips from a TDM850 - exactly the same

Good. Now, how is it possible to lose the pin but not the clip?!

The R clip and the wavy spring retaining plate stop flying away because of the black caliper cover - the retaining pin just worked its way loose and disappeared.

One of my R clips was actually rattling around in the plastic cover along with a couple of stones. The pin was trying to escape but was thankfully rusted in place.
