ok so i now have my FC calipers, pulled the pads out today (yellow EBC\'s nearly new any good?)
when i pulled them out it seems i have 2 different sets of pins, one calipers has 2 clips that go in the pin between the caliper and pad the other has 1 big clip that sits outside the caliper through both pins and clips inside a hole in the caliper?
i also need to replace 1 of the pins are these avaliable?

found just 1 sticky piston and it free\'d up in the vice no problem so quite happy for the money:Thumbsup!
will get some pictures tomorrow sure that will be better than my jibberish!!!

i have drilled a new hole in the pin so that should be ok now but if you can get them it would be handy
here are a couple of pictures of the different set ups

could do with new pins myself but if you are desperate for some then i have a few kicking around. Might even take one down to my motor parts shop and measure one up, sure something will be the same size.

doh, my grandad has the kit to make these will give him a shout, may be worth getting a few done then!

Pete do you have info on the different clip set ups?

So where is cheepest for re-build kits for the rears then?

[pdtaylor18]

the clips are that there are two stainless ones, one is longer than the other, as long as they are held down by the pins. there should be little stainless clips that the ends of the pads push into. I will get some pics if needed.
As far as the highlighted bits in yellow then I have only seen the pic on the left.  The stainless bit of wire simply holds the two pins together to stop them falling out. Not seen the right hand setup, may have been adapted.  To be honest as long as the pins are secured in somehow then it should not matter but I always like to keep things standard as poss.

it will do the job just seems odd that the 2 calipers are different, didnt know if mazda changed the set up at some point?
the caliper with the 2 c clips dont have holes in the pins at the ends (to let you have the first set up) they look like orgional pins too, like i say not going to loose sleep over it.
do you have any pictures off a t11 brake master? looking to swap this also providing its not to difficult

thanks

takes about 30 mins for the servo, 4 nuts inside the car and undo the pipes.

[mpk490p]

No problem in fitting them just wonder if you know of any difference between the Fb and Fc ones, i will have a look at RS5 should be plenty of Fc\'s :yes

Thanks

Use the top one for when you are just bleeding the pipe system, but if you\'ve had the caliper off - use the bottom one, so that you can get shot of any air pockets / bubbles in the caliper itself.
