Much appreciated guys, but I have managed to source the part on ECP of all places. Such a wally
Considering I need the car, spending a ludicrous £6 on this piece of crappy metal will have to do
RE: Ell Diablo - Poodle - 02-09-2013
See, it's not just me it happens to!
RE: Ell Diablo - Piggy - 02-09-2013
why does this happen?!
I've never had this!!
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 02-09-2013
I don't know. I believe the retaining clip had worked its way loose so there was nothing holding the metal bar in. Silly design TBF
RE: Ell Diablo - Piggy - 02-09-2013
I've never had issues with these?! weird
RE: Ell Diablo - Scott - 02-09-2013
I know both Alex and Ed have had this
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 02-09-2013
It's not what you want really. Makes for a bum twitching moment that's for sure. Got a fixing kit from ECP just now for 11 quid
rip off...
RE: Ell Diablo - Piggy - 02-09-2013
worth tying in a piece of strong wire, like for training plants with, on that pin that holds the slider on, then onto the caliper. so it cant come out.
RE: Ell Diablo - Just Sean - 02-09-2013
I can get some locking wire from work if you wanna try something grant
RE: Ell Diablo - Piggy - 02-09-2013
welder. /thread
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 02-09-2013
Then you'd never get the pads out lol.
I'm gonna try some m2 bolts through the holes to stop the bar moving

And me and jonny b too. In fact i suspect half the forum has at some point. Its a really poor design.
Could try retrofitting 307 rear calipers.
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 02-09-2013
^^not a bad shout tbf
RE: Ell Diablo - Dum-Dum - 02-09-2013
IIRC the disc size is the same so oyuve gotta wonder how far out the bolt pattern is.
Might have a nosey on service bolox later.
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 02-09-2013
If you do, post up the results mate. Could be a worthwhile investment x
RE: Ell Diablo - Niall - 02-09-2013
Just been looking at a photo. You will need to make up something for the handbrake mount but other than that, cant see why it wont fit. Possibly custom lines as well but there might be enough room to bend the original about.
RE: Ell Diablo - Dum-Dum - 02-09-2013
Yeah as with what Neil said. The bolt holes look really close. Depending on what you get the calipers off they come with M10 or M12 bolts.
Calipers are cheap on ebay if you want to try.
Edit: The discs are 2mm bigger
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 02-09-2013
I shouldn't have thought that 2mm disc diameter would make any difference. Even if so, just use 307 discs.
How do you mean handbrake mount Niall? As in how the cable fits into the lever arm?
RE: Ell Diablo - Dum-Dum - 02-09-2013
Yeah the fitting on the caliper end looks different. Might be adaptable though.

Look at the way the handbrake mech works. I think you will need to bodge something up to hold the cable housing in place. Alternatively, you might be able to use 307 handbrake cables. depends what the other end is like. Cant see it needing too much work though tbh!
Fairly substantial piston size difference though. Should make a big difference!
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 02-09-2013
It looks like you can unbolt the lever arm? Could cut off and drill a 306 one?
If the cables don't fit the handle that is
RE: Ell Diablo - Niall - 02-09-2013
Nah. 306 handbrake mech works completely different to that. The arm is at a completely different angle to that (Points in towards the car instead of towards the front)
Wouldnt be difficult to fit a 307 handbrake cable.
RE: Ell Diablo - Poodle - 02-09-2013
Might find the cables are a bit long, got to be worth a look though. Could cut the end off a 306 cable and weld a suitable tab on instead.
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 02-09-2013
^^^ Good idea that to be fair.
Aaaaaaaaand. Look what the postie bought me today

RE: Ell Diablo - Poodle - 03-09-2013
Not just a pretty face.
Wtaf is that for..?
RE: Ell Diablo - Grant - 03-09-2013
I've got to be the only sad fucker who is excited by a bit of steel bar turning up in the post.
Ill give a clue. It needs a 12mm hole in it.
RE: Ell Diablo - Dum-Dum - 03-09-2013
Gear stick extension?
RE: Ell Diablo - Ed Doe - 03-09-2013
Solid top engine mount?
Or solid bottom mount (dunno why you'd want that though given you've already got one...)
