thanks again omegatoy. They feel like they will take some time to bed in fully, so more to come? If they are hard wearing may take a while?

Cant find them listed anywhere under Jurid, only seem to come up under .com sites and none list Vauxhall or opel, cant find under catera either....

With the front kit from VX.part number 93175466,do you also get the calliper bolts?,as Mr.Haynes says these should be renewed at disc/pad change.
If not is there a seperate part number for them ?

[Kevin Wood]

I believe I got new bolts with my kit.

Just spoke to my local VX dealer and they tell me that the caliper bolts don,t come as part of the disk/pad set,and they need to be ordered as a seperate item.
Seems very strange and another way of inflating the price as my understanding was caliper bolts should be replaced when discs pads are renewed.
Any one had similar experience and got a part number for the bolt set as parts man has just had a right roasting so he won,t be too pleased to speak to me for a while.

When I bought my disk/pad axle set on TC there were 4 bolts in the kit, these were the ones for the caliper slides ... 15 mm IIRC  .....

HTH

Entwood...thats what I thought and remembered from a previous time I bought a kit,but when I questioned the parts man in dealers today he said they didn,t include slider bolts and that they were a seperate kit...seems just a way of making a second sale for the same kit to me.

[Entwood]

most odd .. I only bought mine 3 weeks ago and they were there ... and the box was well sealed, so my guess is your parts man is just trying to make a sale.

Best bet is to open the sealed box in the stealers and see if they are there ... if they are .. problem solved...

I have a set of 'real' and tradeclub pads in the garage.


Trade Club weigh : 1.835 Kg,
Real ones Weigh 2.02 Kg

not much, but the good ones feel more substantial.
Trade club ones ready champhered, real are square edged.

So, on the bright side, my power-to-weight ratio is slightly better withg the cr@p pads in.  8-)

both of my sets of pads had two(2) bolts in!....  so i eventually ended up with the 4 i needed. The disc and pad set should defo have the bolts, my box had split open so i guess 2 fell out somewhere.

Strangely the "gold" "proper" pads only had two bolts as well, and the box was well sealed.

Yes, no champher on the proper pads. Bigger contact area.... may also help them work better. And add to the weight i suppose.

 Champher on the trade club pads does seem ott, almost halfs the pad size, and they still squeak apparently, even WITH copper slip would you beleive, who'd a thought....? :-)

Sorry to be a pain, I'm just in the process of changing my front discs..

What is the correct part number for the 'golden' pads is it 9195077 (£97 i think the parts man said) or 9195058 (at £54)

Weds...where will you be getting them from as I had a bust up with the parts guy in Barnes,Maidstone,other day over caliper bolts in brake kit.

I rung up Pomphrey in Sittingbourne, its a bit of a pain with Greens of Rainham shutting, about a 30 miles round trip to either Barnes or Pomphrey

[amba]

The prices quoted ,were they on ABS trade card then ? I must admit I do find Pomphreys the best of the Kent Bunch.

Don't think the goldern pads are on TC, the discs are and they do recognise Autobahnstormers
