taylorblue5 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hi im having a nightmare finding suitable pins for my calipers. Bought 3 sets which are to short. Mine are 1978 ate type calipers and the pins must be around the 65mm mark to make the gap. Can anybody help. Thanx again, Scotty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mlocke666 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Ye Ive not had any luck finding new ones, only seem to be able to get them from America. Ive found that landrover ones are worth a shot, the diameter is spot on and they have the rounded over head on one side, they are however a bit too long and will need trimming and a tiny hole drilling for the R clip. If I manage to drill these landrover ones then my original volvo ones will be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmantamik Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hi are you running solid or vented discs . i know that i have some at home for the vented setup but i seem to recall them being longer than that proboably about 80mm long . i suppose you could cut 15mm off the end, as the domed end is the end that has the hole drilled out for the r clip . if you dont manage to get any drop me a mail with your address and i will bang them in the post.
