Brake pad spring

Post by btripp93 » Mon Jan 16, 2012 6:12 pm

Hi
I may of just been looking in the wrong places
But I can't seem to find the spring that goes between the brake pads
So I was wondering where I can find a new one, I had a look on wemoto, ebay etc but nothing
Would breakers maybe be the answer ???
Cheers Ben

The spring sits ontop of the brake pads underneath the pad pin, the only thing between the pads should be the disc. I recently had a part of the spring snap on one of my calipers, bought a new one from my local garage so they shouldnt be too hard to get hold of from a dealer, and as far as i know early fireblade calipers have the same pad springs as the nc30. I know they definatly use the same pads but im not 100% on the springs, hope that helps mate.
