After my (lengthy) rear caliper rebuilding adventure, I finally have my brakes bled with a really nice firm pedal.
Next, I'm replacing the front brake pads. After removing the pads, I found I only have 1 anti-rotation clip on the outboard side of the passenger side front caliper and both on the drivers side. Referencing this older thread, which BTW shows in awesome detail the anti-rotation clips, are these anti-rotation clips necessary? If so, where can you buy them? I haven't anyone who sell them so far. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=330264  |

Look on Ebay, or usual parts suppliers. Usually come in caliper rebuild kit. Put WTB in classified, they are right and left orientation.

QUOTE(jim_hoyland @ Oct 18 2026, 10:12 PM)  What do that do ? I believe the intent of the piston cutout is to allow the pad rock slightly to promote even pad wear. The anti-rotation bracket attempts to keep the cutout in position. |
