Tbh 7 years is pretty good for a D2 caliper. I tend to treat them as consumables now.
TRW units are about £200 each but quite hard to acquire these days. Chinesium are about £70 each and are everywhere. I'm actually running Maxgear rears on mine - they're supposedly made in Poland and are about £100 each. 4D0615423E Left, 4D0615424E Right. |

Handbrake Cable Clips
After much thought about refurbs I went with a pair of new Maxgears. Also renewing the discs whilst Im about it as I'm saving on labour by doing it myself. The nearside caliper was truly gubbed with the handbrake lever not going the full extent of travel. But the small horseshoe shaped clips securing the handbrake cable to the bracket on the caliper have practically disappeared with rust. Anyone know the part number or substitute?

Weird. Just checked ETKA again and the image for 03 was what I posted, and the image for 06 is what MJ posted.

That dark grey clip is to hold a clevis pin in a brake pedal, although not in a D2. Its not part of the handbrake mechanism, so I think it is incorrectly associated with the part number on google.

Chalk up another win to MJ, as she's more accurate than ETKA.
