Brake pads

[jock]

What northy said is right wobba, the backing plate on the left hand pad looks warped and this is the one that will fall out and render one of the brake circuits useless.
some of the retainer sliders have holes in each end but the hole at the left hand side needs the spring clip to stop the retainer moving to the right and falling out. when it moves the other way it hits the bolt head and stops but that does not matter as the outer pad should be bolted on.

I suggest you spend 7 quid or whatever on a fitting kit as you get new retainer sliders, anti rattle springs and more importantly new spring clips that are still springy and wont fall out (and save you cleaning the old ones) and it will all move freely for a while again.
I think the caliper setup on these has allways been a pain in the backside and mine allways seem to be binding on after the winter salt. I speak from experience of a pad falling out when my ex was driving, luckily in town not barrelling down the A1!

Hoping i dont need new calipers...

Im trying to concentrate on the 2 for now....but obviously will need 276 mechanically sorted as the 2 will be off the road apart from trackdays im hoping...

Dan come to mine after work for the pads...not had a chance to pop over :(

Ahh bugger, didn't see this till just now

You don't need new callipers!

Braided lines and some carbonne lorraine pads would be good though

To be honest you don't need much on the 1, just an expansion coolant bottle (it's using Renaults Type D coolant too, you will need some), throttle cable and some pads, maybe a new dogbone and gearbox mount and wishbones if you really want to tighten it up (easy to do, cheap as chips from GSF). Dampers at the front are past there best, but is still consistent in the corners and a right hoot to hack about in :D

[Coops]

sounds like mine, doesnt need much till you list the 'tired' parts rather than the broken one

but still a giggle to hoon about in!
