Hey all, im looking for the little spring that holds the pads into the cailper as i snapped mine yesterday. Its the bit that says 5x on the picture


If anyone has one they can sell me it will be much appreciated.

Tried AutoVaux or a Loti dealer? The latter I would suspect have them for when they service the cars and they spring out onto the workshop floor.

Yeah i tried them but no luck as you have to buy standard pads to get them with it.

What a oile of crap.... surely they could supply them seperately!

What would it take to make them... Surely someone could source these for peanuts!

[haggi961]

I was thinking the same. Also tried Elise parts and Elise shop but still no luck. No one got a spare lying around as i dont really want to buy a set of pads just for the spring.

Have you tried contacting Brembo direct, or one of their approved distributors?

We do use disc retaining bolts but they are not those ones. Aston Vauxhall will have these.

You'll need 4 per corner, typically, we've got 2 in stock

It's not VX220 specific part so any Vauxhall Dealer will do

Only 1 retaining disc per corner, dont you mean 4 per car

What's a retaining disc? That link is for 4 little screws?

Apologies, I'd assumed 4 were per corner, not 4 per car.

No.9 on the pic posted by the OP?

yeah, apologies. I've only got two in stock.

They're not VX220 specific, as because they're really cheap, you may be better off going to your local dealer as it may work out cheaper for you.

I've only got 2 in stock, but I can order more if you wanted to get them from me.

[haggi961]

Il leave it then Aston Vauxhall as i want to get proper ones but thanks anyway. I rang the number for the spring but im not having any luck. If anyone wants to sell me one il will be happy to give them £10 for it.

Proper ones?

That part number I gave you is the 'proper' part for the retaining screw.
