Princess 4 Pot Caliper problem

[Pigboger]

I am in process of refurbishing the Austin Princess 4 pot calipers of our 350i. They are fitted with spacers and coupled with Ford Granada ventilated discs. Or at least I think they are Granada....

The Question : Does anyone know what or where to obtain a fitting kit. I am missing the retaining springs and cannot find any to fit. They are all to narrow. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Retaining springs? Do you mean the pins with R clips or split pins what are used to stop the pad falling out?

What thickness spacers do you have? If they're 8mm Biggred Ltd do a kit of spring retainers and split pins....
If they're wider spacers there is another company I found had some but the details have escaped me at the mo...

Thanks for your response on PH.
The spacer is 10mm & it is the spring over the top of the pads that I am after. It holds the pads in place and stops them rattling about.

Getting the air out is a nightmare im still struggling after a year.

The later LDV Convoys with vented discs are about the same size springs, you can get a kit with pins in as well
