I wanted a set incase I found a problem whilst fitting new pads.Have done the job one pin was slightly corroded and the other ok.The length for future reference is 85mm.Eurocrap do a kit for vented disc but they are too  short.

It's the springs that fail. the central rivets rust through. Perhaps I should keep some spares.

Terry means the anti rattle springs for the rear pads, but yes the hand brake shoe retainers also rot away with backing plate ;)
