Title: Rack your brains gents....
Post by: oldschoolace on March 30, 2018, 02:42 PM: .... I'm looking for a very specific brake part. The little thick washer section with a slot in it to hold the spring on a caliper.
They are usually fixed to/part of the pivot bolt but I'm sure I've seen some individual threaded ones somewhere.
Just can't remember where :-\

Any idea lads?

not sure if DC buldogs had a threaded one on em? i think the set i have has a locknut behind the spring so it may just be loose on the pivot bolt ?

could you not knock one up :chin:

any good looks like it's pressed on so should come off the pivot bolt ?
