Caliper Maintenance

[boris]

Need some replacement R-Clips for the calliper pins. Can anyone point me to a source as I don't need the pins (and clips) as a set? Thanks in advance..

Try local agricultural supply shop

I'dhave thought an rc model shop would be a better option. They're quite small.

They need to be stainless steel, the so best ring your local Ducati shop, or google them.

Nice one Slob. Much appreciated. Thanks to you others for your replies. Never thought of a Model Shop?

Just to add another option to replacing the R-clips, I rather like lockwire for the job.

One as I have it around and two, because it's generally more secure than clips.

Totally agree Flip (much experience of wire-locking in previous aircraft engineering days). But I know the cost of a reel of locking wire and pliers far exceeds a set of R-clips..

I must have at least 4 somewhere as I also have a pair of slightly rough 4 pot calipers knocking around.
Also got a full seal pack for the rear caliper in case of need.

Yep I totally get that and to be honest if it wasn't for me having it because of my race bike I would still be using R-clips too :biggrin:
