Crabman Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hey Fellas, When we did the breaks in my '79 brat, some of the hardware for the fronts was worn out. I did a little searching for a disc brake hardware kit today and didn't turn anything up. Do you any of you guys know where to find a hardware kit for the front discs? Thanks, Crabman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveeen Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hardware kit? A disk brake "hardware kit" is simply shims that go behind the pads. A "caliper kit" is the seals and slider seals, sometimes a piston, sometimes not, sometimes sliders, sometimes not. Beck-Arnley shims: 084-1047 Beck-Arnley caliper kit (for the piston only) 071-4493 Beck-Arnley bare caliper: 076-0165 (L) 076-0166 ® Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonv23 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I put new calipers and pads on, don't remember any shims. Is that why the calipers rattle like crazy? If that's all there is to it, I can't wait to fix it! Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Crabman I just had new sets in my hands yesterday. I'll be back at my storage later today or tomorrow and will try to bring a set or two home. Tiny clips,springs,shims,all that cool stuff. Send me your shipping address and notate WHAT IT IS I'm shipping ,your real name and your board name,please and I'll send a set out. Toss me the shipping and a few bucks,we'll work it out later. Just be patient,please. I'm way over my head right now with having to move storage,etc.etc....Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabman Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hey Moosens I have just PMed you with my shipping address. If one kit is for both fronts I'll just need one kit. Bit if it is a kit for each side, I'll need two kits. You get my drift. Thanks in advance!! Crabman I just had new sets in my hands yesterday.

Crabman Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 I think Moosens is going to help me out, but in the mean time if anybody has the part numbers for the little clips and the springs that go on the front discs, I would really appreciate it.
