Just had a call from Gary Marks (RotaryArt) asking if anyone has a set of these he can nab to get a batch made by one of his suppliers.  I think he\'s after the ones that hold the pads in place...

He\'s tried the usual sources (RXMotors & Jimmys) and neither have any.  They appear to be the proverbial rocking-horse poo!

Gary\'s having internet connectivity problems so probably won\'t be online until the weekend, poss early next week so leave a message here of mail him via his site.

anti rattle springs I might have a set on my car but can\'t remember ... but for which Marque?

I reckon they are significantly different between S1 and S2-S3

Have had a quick look on Mazdatrix site they have some springs and anti rattle shims as a kit.

I\'ve just got a fresh set of re-manufactured rear brakes from budweg. The old ones where shot to death and i couldnt wind the pistons in to fit my new pads and discs.

The pack that came had all replacement sliders and spring clips.

Could be worth a vendor contacting them and get a batch order, they will make them for their re-manufactured calipers.

From what Gary said I think it\'s an S1 (not that I know much about FBs :)) hence the problem getting hold of them...
