Cheap parts?

Hi all,

I'm after a rear brake pedal spring for an '04 Hornet. Reluctant to pay £11 for a spring and delivery, so I'm after a cheaper site.
The part I'm after is number 9.
I've tried WeMoto, David Silver Spares and ebay but no luck. If anyone knows of any cheap websites it would be appreciated.

Thanks

I've also had the miss fortune of not being able to find good used parts for my Varadero. I didn't have much change left out of two hundred quid when I had to buy a front calliper from Honda two weeks later one appeared on ebay fifty pound delivered.

Some times you've just got to suck it up take the hit and get on with life eleven pounds is hardly breaking the bank is it.

Maybe try one of those markets where people try and get rid of motorcycle related bits and bobs.

Here's a link to help you out. There's one taking place tomorrow in London.

Thanks for the posts. I'd hoped somewhere might have it cheap online so I didn't have to get off my fat arse but needs must!

I'll check out some auto parts places Karma

Things like this I'd get at the nearest beaker for a quid.

Not much help..I know, but Partzilla have that spring listed at $1.51...but then they ask about 300 quid for post Rolling Eyes

Seems it's unique to the Hornet too:-

Anyway, you have a better PN to deal with now rather than those silly Lings ones Wink

hi,
why not just buy a spring?
theres nothing special about it is there?

just measure old one + go to any hardware shop (am sure even evil bay will be able to match it) + ask them for a spring the same size.
i've done this a few times, especially with exhaust manifold springs.
if 1 gets lost, i measure the other + buy a replacement for like a pound,
cheers,
GAZ
ps : my local sunday market has a guy that sells nut & bolts & other stuff & i've got springs off him umpteen times, without any issues, usually for less than a pound. probably something similar to where op lives.

I hadn't even considered that. I'll give it a try, thanks Smile
