Help in locating a rear brake caliper wear sensor clip -- NLA

[mikebloomfield]

Hi All -- I refurbed my rear calipers last week, according to Dwayne's write up (Thanks Dwayne--amazing level of detail that helped a lot!).

In the process, I somehow misplaced one of the clips on the back of the caliper that holds the pad wear sensor onto the caliper. Now, given the usefulness of the brake wear sensors, I wouldn't consider this a big deal. However, that clip goes below the cotter pins that keep the brake pad pins in place. I am just being paranoid (I doubt those pins are going anywhere), but I would feel better if this clip was in place.

It is part 928-352-823-00 and is NLA from Porsche. I have tried ordering it on Pelican but they do not have it in stock. Below is a picture of the part from Dwayne's write up. I have the cotter pins, just not the clip below it.

So, does anyone have an old OB rear caliper laying around with this clip in place? Obviously willing to pay for it and shipping.

Where did you buy your brake calipers? Any reviews on this Canadian provider ? I just need to change mine, would be grateful for someone's recommendations.

Hey -- I just refurbed mine. I took them all apart, had them bead blasted and powder coated, then used the rebuild kit from Pelican to change all the rubber. Not a hard job at all, except for misplacing this part. Follow Dwayne's writeup and you should be fine: Rear Caliper Refurbish ('84)


It turns out 928 Int'l had a couple of those clips, so all is well. I will say that I think the clip is on upside down in the picture above. When those little tabs are facing down, the clip serves to keep tension on the cotter pins and therefore keep them in place.
