Hi guys, I got some N14 calipers for a brake upgrade on my Micra, but one of the sliding pin/bolts is totally seized up, 2 days soaking and high torque rattle gun has just stripped the bolt head...
So, I know many buy rebuild kits when they upgrade theirs, but the pins in my opinion don't wear that badly, so if you have some spare or left over bolt/pins from your own upgrade, I'd like to source them, mainly just need the larger one, and like I said used is fine to me, unless it's massively chewed, I have never usually seen that big a difference between old and new pins in terms of play, they 'float' anyway.
And yeah, I'm having zero luck finding new replacements anyway, I'll hit up a wrecking yard if I have to, thought it worth a try here first.
