E clips for brake pin ???

I have 5mm E clips for brake pin ,, but they are too large ?? i got some 4mm ones too small

now bike off road because cant find correct size for rear brake ?????

are they a Brembo special size 4.5 ? or imperial ???????

a twist of lockwire will get the bike back on the road. pretty sure the clips are not available seperately from brembo.

Assuming you mean R-clips Jerry? as the E key is next the R key.
I bet you turn round and look before you flush, so why don't you check before posting?

I got some stainless R-clips quite a long time ago for my Ti pins. They appear to still be available. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124099130...IAAOSwt4xfPofi
Select 1mm diameter.

no, the rear caliper has an e-clip on the pin, it’s a brembo special, with a folded over lip that makes it easy to pop out (ping… f*#kit!)

Oh! Those fiddly little numbers! I didn't know they were called E-clips.
I might have a spare somewhere, but it will be rusty for sure.

cant get Brembo ones I called around and searched and they are 4.5mm I managed to order some off fleabay but they aint ss or plated

Is this any good to you Jerry?

Or this which is a non standard set up that they claim will fit. Uses a clip in both grooves so could be good?

You can buy replica pin kits for Brembo calipers which include the e clip for around £6

I bought one for my Belgarda tdr125 3sh and ended up using it on my 900 as fitted as per Brembo parts

From whence did they cometh Ben?
Have you got a link?

jerry · 26-04-2024, 10:41 AM

Yes but silly money I already have that kit but missing E clip new in my spares

jerry · 26-04-2024, 10:43 AM

The actual size E clip is 4.5mm not 5mm I have ordered some for a few pennies on ebay

900Rebuilder · 29-04-2024, 08:12 AM

This isn't the exact one I purchased as I paid approx £6 for my two sets (each).
