Omega General Help / Re: handbrake pads
« on: 31 July 2023, 22:39:40 »
What "full set" did you buy?
The handbrake shoes are GM# 90541931 which superseded GM# 90509606. All models and ages of Omega B/B2 are the same.
The rear brake pads are GM# 9193476 or GM# 9192126. Genuine GM 9193476 pads include the fitting kit for non-vented rear discs, 9193476 doesn't. The pads themselves are the same vented or not.
Your rear discs are highly likely to be vented. You'll need to salvage and reuse your existing pins and anti-rattle cross springs. Don't install non-vented pins and/or springs.
Be aware that (widely advertised on ebay) GM# 9192125 pads and 3rd party equivalents are Vectra spec pads and not Omega spec pads. They are less meaty and are effectively part worn when installed on an Omega. This might not be an issue with new discs but I wouldn't use them with older worn discs.

Omega General Help / Re: Disc back plate
« on: 19 July 2023, 18:01:29 »
Carried over from the Carlton/Omega A and Senator B. So I suggest that you PM Keith ABS and ask if he can help you out? If nobody on the forum has any.
Do they really need renewing as opposed to re-painting?

Aren't the screws securing the plenum only 8Nm?

Omega General Help / Re: HBV Part number ?

The Omega versions were all superseded by the Vectra part 95517483. The only difference is that the Vectra version has a curtain shroud around the vacuum port. Otherwise it's identical as to function and fit. Good for any Omega B or B2.
A genuine GM part has been hard to come by for some years. However the ones here seem to be good quality, at least the last one I bought was. Looked to be a genuine part.
