caliper partsI am having a problem

[williamgeorge]

I am having a problem with a CB500V and has failed the MOT because of a broken front pad clip. The tester has tried to find a part and he said that both Honda and Brembo no longer make them.The bike of course can not be ridden untill a part can be found.A new caliper is not practicle. Has any one had the problem or found a way round it please.

Have you got a picture of it?
I may have one kicking around in my spares box.

I've just looked on the Fowlers fiche and also cmsnl.com and I can't find a part number for you.

I would try contacting a Brembo importer/specialist. I think www.modeperformance.co.uk might be able to help, not sure though. I haven't dealt with a Brembo specialist since GPR in Silverstone stopped dealing with them.

Have a look and see if there is a branch near you. My local one is pretty good and if you went in there asking for a small piece of thin stainless sheet the size of a credit card they'll probably let you have it for nothing. It would take 5 mins to make that.

Wooooah there.

It's the same type of part, doesn't mean it will fit.

It may fit or could be made to fit or could be completely different!

Are we talking about the nit in the middle of this pic, with no number? If we are, take it out and throw it away then the bike will pass mot.

They can't test something that isn't there.

I have had a reply from a leading spare supplier with the following message.

Honda have strangely not ever sold that as a separate part - we had trouble even getting the larger one at the rear of the pads a few years ago and Brembo were worse than useless then.


Leave it with me, I will do some digging to see if there is another model using the same clip which can be bought as a spare.

I'm pretty sure that's one of the parts I tend to deem as "unnecessary" when working on my brakes.
