compatible calipers?!

Post by shutty747 » Mon Aug 18, 2008 2:25 pm

Hi all,

I recently put our Bongo into a garage to get the brake pads replaced (thanks for the quick delivery Ian!), and in the process, they've snapped one of the sliding bolts that holds the front caliper on (they can be very tight, and I'm not sure when they were last done)

Anyway, I'm now trying to find a replacement bolt for one of the front calipers. Having consulted the parts database, and visited a Mazda garage, I've ordered a bolt from a B2000 pickup, as Mazda say they're very similar to Bongos, and it had the same part number on their database. In the meantime, while I'm keeping my fingers crossed, can anyone confirm one of two things:
1) where could I find a parts supplier who would supply a Bongo caliper bolt (I'm hoping not to have to buy a whole caliper!)?
2) or what else has compatible calipers?

many thanks for any help. I (and the garage) thought it would be a quick job, but I'm now beginning to fret, as we need Bongo up and running for a holiday trip on Wednesday night.

cheers,

shutty

I am not sure what bolt it is but you should get one easily enough we have a fixings and fastner specalist by us and he said if you bring one in he will match it, hope you have one by you, let us know how you get on....
