does anyone know where i can find new clips and pins for the toyota calipers s12+8? toyota dealer no longer carries them, and your basic auto part stores have no idea

thanks

Hi Todd,

I would think a big city like Milwaukee would have a brake supply place not

afflilated with a brand name parts store.

Try this:

Auto Brake Clutch & Gear Co., Inc

1721 North Water Street

Milwaukee, WI 53202

Phone: 1-414-276-8610

Toll-free: 1-800-369-5888

Fax: 1-414-276-7663

email: abcg@abcgparts.com

Good luck,

Ask for a "caliper hardware kit" for the original Toyota application. I'm sure that Raybestos and others offer them.

Hey Todd,

Did you have any luck?

Chris A.

thanks for the info.. i'll give it a try tomorrow. i didnt get a chance to look into it today, spent the evening removing disassembling the rear drums and inspecting the bearings. so now i need all the drum hardware as well....

Try www.rockauto.com. I believe they have what you're looking for.

Hi Todd,

If you can't find anybody local to get the parts, PM me and I'll hook you up with my source here. The guy gets me anything I want brake wise for the Z cars. Last time I did brake work he got me good quality Bendix and Wagner parts.

FWIW,

thanks for the info. i got an email from Jerry at zrace who i got my a-arms from and he ordered a few sets, and said he'd be getting back to me on the price. after teraing apart the rear drums last night, i going to be completely redoing those as well, shoes, wheels cylinder, springs... i havent done much investigating on prices, but from what i found for wheel cylinder prices wasnt very good.

this was after a few rounds or serious degreasing..

Pre-77 Z rear wheel cylinders tend to be pricey, as they are fairly unique.

Yes, I havent priced any from MSA or Black Dragon. My local guy will sell them to me for $79.50 each. But, when you got to have it......

FWIW - I ordered the "DISC BRAKE HARDWARE KIT" from Advance Auto.

Beck Arnley P/N 084-0876 - Price (excl. tax) $13.97

It does NOT come with the PINS, and it was a 2 day delivery.
