Subject:WTB: Caliper Guide Pins for Audi 200/5000 calipers
From:BenT Syncro
Date:Fri, 12 Feb 2010 05:08:08 -0800

Good morning,

I realize this is a longshot but thought someone here might have some core
Audi calipers or maybe know
where I might be able to procure these in a hurry. We were about to finish
my dual-piston Audi caliper
conversion on my Syncro 16 (ML320 303mm discs). When we got into final
assembly, we discovered the
caliper guide pins were missing after the carriers came back from the
machine shop.

These are common on the earlier Girling calipers such as the G60's. Here's
some pics from a Rover but it's
essentially the same part. I tried to take some off some Golf calipers but
they were too small for the G60's.

You can also see them on the Audi caliper in David Marshall's website:

I figured these must be available somewhere besides Audi. They want to sell
me the whole carrier.
They sell them for Rovers at the website where I found the above pics.

Thoughts?

TIA,
