Front brake calliper slider pin cap
Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2023 11:20 am
Hi, I recently changed the brake pads and discs on my 1985 Trueno and put too much grease on the slider pin for RH front calliper (which I then forced on with a hammer when it wouldn't slide all the way) and it caused the cap at the back of the calliper to start coming off. Tried getting it properly seated again but it was fiddly and I rushed it - ended up coming off whilst driving.
I cannot find any part number for it nor is it part of any brake calliper rebuild kit I can find. Getting a new calliper isn't much of an option as parts are scarce in the UK. Anyone know anywhere to get this? Or would a generic metal cap of the right size hammered on and crimped down (as there's a slight ridge) suffice?
Here is the cap missing https://imgur.com/wBvChZX

Any help greatly appreciated, the pedal travel is very long despite a front calliper bleed so want to cross this off as a cause.
Thanks
