I need split pins for the princess calipers i have fitted they are 100mm long with a 8mm dia head and 5mm dia stalk. Are split pins measured by the head or the stalk? as in this ebay advert the look pretty much the same as the ones i need but 8mm????//

They look ok Dix.

I have pins with R clips holding my pads in place on my AP calipers.

The guy selling them has just sent a message saying the shaft is 8mm. Anyone know where i can get split pins or pins and r clips like campbells i can find any on ebay. A link would be great. I need 100m long and 5mm stalk dia.

Cheers guys

Is it just me that thinks using split pins (made of soft metal) is a bad idea?

You could make some easily enough Jeff: bit of steel rod, lathe, away you go
