Brake pad warning wire

Does anyone know if you can buy these anywhere?

In the past I've seen them come with brake pad sets but
not recently.
If you've got new pads which I'm sure you have, you'll not need it in a long
time.
Just keep a look out on all those marketplaces.

Hi Mark

As Nigel says, the odds on you wearing out a set of new front pads is very doubtful.

Just for authenticity tbh

I would try making one or two.
2 pack epoxy comes to mind, filed down to a firm fit.
Protruding around 3mm from the pad back plate.

I found this whist perusing ebay:
It appears to show a pair of sensor wires included.

I just purchased some new old stock Bendix brake pads on ebay as they came with OE brake wear indicator end caps.....just an impulse buy simply because they had the wear caps included.

However, I have recently purchased some break wear sensor wires for an older Meredes which have a similar ends that slots into the brake pad hole. The Mercedes sensor wire is made to connect with a bullet connector about 6" from the caliper and so I simply made a wire with a female bullet terminal to suit.

Not the same but will do the job if you get stuck and want the wear sensors to work.

P.S. Also in the interests of authenticity, I have since replaced the interim Mercedes wires with the original Lancia wires utilising the new caps I got with the Bendix pads

Thanks for that.  I will look into it
