Front Brake Caliper Tab Washers

[keynsham]

Does anyone know a source for the tab washer on the front brake caliper that locks the two mounting bolts? I have looked but I can't find anything.

Use Threadlock.

Continuing my tab washer saga, I want to replace mine but mine have a mount built in for the brake pipe. Is this usual? I can't find any like this anywhere!

Hi did you manage to find the caliper tab washers, my wheel bearing is shot, so need to take mine off again. I just slapped a load of grease into the bearing to get another years worth of MOT. I think that the last set of potholes, that I was forced into, was the last straw for the bearing.
I have ordered a new bearing, so will replace it as soon as I have received it.

Thanks

I could only find flat tab washers so I cut the tabs off the original one with the pipe mounting on it and fitted the flat tab washer underneath it, using the tabs in the new one to lock the bolts.

OK thanks for the reply, cunning plan.
I have had the hub off last weekend to grease. The tabs were bent just enough to get a socket on. I will do this one more time, for the new bearing when it arrives.
However, I did notice that the disc was pitted on the inside when I removed the hub, so will probably change the lot, at some point.
BTW what was the part number and where did you order from?

Many thanks
