I've got a set of week old motor factor rear bugeye brake pads in the garage. I'll pm you with more details

I'm not able to attend the Swansea meet tomorrow but could give the pads to Rich or Simon to take along?

Are they the same ones mate?

Nomad_72

Just checked online and they're closed
It's that passenger side rear caliper again (that i mentioned to you last week) The outer pad has done a vanishing act again!

Think they shut early though so check before you go down

Nomad_72

Just been looking at the website and there don't seem to be any brake pads of any kind on there
Will keep my fingers crossed when i ring them.

I can't understand how a pad with plenty of material left, can disappear out of the caliper

Nomad_72

Tell me about it!!!

There was plenty of meat on it, it passed MOT on Wednesday
I had an advisory on hand brake efficiency, barely passed with 28%. Could that be a factor perhaps?

No the handbrake is separate to the brakes.

What I am trying to say is the rear of the car has a drum and shoe set up for the handbrake and disk and callipers for normal braking.

Nomad_72

It's a complete mystery then

But this is the 2nd time it's happened to the same shoe in 6 months

Nomad_72

Don't suppose you've got any lying around in your "stores" Dylan?

Have a look at your rear brakes , the only way a pad can come out , and I have seen a few cars like this !! is someone has fitted solid discs onto a car that should have vented discs , as the calipers are wider to accept the wider vented discs , it leaves a big gap in between the caliper carrier and the discs , enough for the pad to come out when it wears down slightly

Check it out , it sounds like this to me , if so you need to fit new discs and pads

Cheers Ian

I'm in work most of the day so if you need to talk ring me
