Title: Brake pipe alignment pins
Post by: smithymc on August 03, 2022, 09:45:14 PM

Does anyone know of a source for these?

They look to be 3mm dia with a full length ‘slot’ although its quite hard to be sure judging from the remains. None of.mine are really good enough to re use.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Mark

I bought some similar split spring type pins on Ebay for the yoke to callipers when I reassembled them. My replacement brake hoses did not have the locating holes, so simply cut the ones off the callipers.

Sorry no idea on size at this point.

Good day,

They are a standard 'roll pin'.
I'd measure the size and order through ebay. Use the caliper hole to measure with a drill bit.
They only ensure orientation of the hose i.e. prevent rotation.  

You should be able
to get the correct length, although a little shorter won't do
any harm. So long as they protrude plus minus 4mm from the caliper
they'll work well.

Regards
Nigel

Brilliant - thanks. Amazing how much more easy it is to find things when you know what the things are called!

All measured and ordered.
