Mate

Part number: 0000442785 - Price £86 ish.

If I was you, I'd get one of the pins, go to a little local engineering firm and ask them to knock 5 of them up for you (1 for now and a spare set) - will easily come in under £80.

they don't list them on here either:

looks to be dealer only part - I'd look to get some made up, they are simple parts in reality but very important !

mate is an engineer, was gonna set about a nail with grinder, use that for now so the cars functional then get him to make me some up, thats a fucking scandalous price for 4 pins like, utterly shocked tbh, more pissed off that i had the 4 but lost one haha
cheers for that though mate

the price is for the fitting kit but still a lot tbh !

hrmmmmmmmmm a nail ?! lol good to see someone using their head !

[blackie_2k5]

yeah mate, if youve seen one of the pins for the brembo it'll make more sense when i explain, but get a nail..say 6" (the same width as widest part of pin) grind/file one end down (or turn it if you have your own lathe) then do the same to the other end so you can fit a round piece of plate to, to act as the retaining clip, the heat the same end with blow torch and bang with a hammer to mushroom head it and keep said clip on, shouldn't be too much work.....

£86 sounds a fair price for the pins, I bet your local engineering firm wont be much less than that. I certainly wouldnt do it for that price.
