Afternoon fellas... So, car in for MOT and at same time new rear discs and pads..... I bought these a number of weeks back... Brembo discs from Autodoc (Germany), pads from Porterfield UK... New caliper bolts from Aston bits....

However, turns out I need new wear sensors for the rears (plastic coating gone from face), new hand brake pads, and (I'm guessing here) new bolts for the hand brake calipers..

I've searched the forums here on PH, and various other tinternet sources (including Redpants), but I'm a touch confused... getting the right parts doesn't seem too onerous however, Autodoc are really cheap for what appears to be genuine parts (hand brake pads and rear wear sensors), compared to say Aston bits.. I can't find hand brake caliper bolts, and I don't seem to be able to identify correct part numbers, for example some info suggests hand brake pads are Jaguar S type...

Any help would be muchly appreciated.... (not about cheap parts, just want to get the right parts...)

TIA,
Richard

IIRC when I did mine, I just got the bolts from Aston Martin, they really weren't that expensive.

Bugger..... searched AM bits but couldn't find the bolts, even though I got the rear caliper bolts from them, think it was about a tenner for all four....

Thanks chaps.......
