Hello All, Can anyone advise on the part number or where to get the front pad retainer springs for the one pot callipers? Mine are a little fragile looking to put it mildly. I've looked around but can't see any reference to them, only the seal kits. Regards Andy.

These folks sell them if you have Granada calpiers. £6 for a full firring kit.

Sorry just noticed you've got one pot calipers? What are they off? Do the slide?

One pots on a wedge - unusual. I have them on the Jeep and they are prone to sticking on, which can be a pain.

Don't know what they are off, this is the problem. They have two pots per caliper but it's one on eash side of the disc. The retainer is a piece of springy wire shaped like a W.

OK, Granada Mk2 77 to 85, click the 2.0l if you have solid discs, 2.8 if you have vented. The web link on my post has pictures to check what you need.
