DontPanic Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Just had my tyres replaced and found that one of the pins holding the front passenger side pads was hanging half out which could have been quite nasty! The guys in the garage tapped it back in for me and bent a new split pin in. Just wondering if anyone knows where to get the correct split pins from? Cheers Dave P.S. I have checked all the others after the panic passed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Just wondering if anyone knows where to get the correct split pins from? I have plenty spare Dave but you would be quicker popping into your local Nissan parts department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanski Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 They are common or garden split pins - from memory about 1 inch long - any and I mean any hardware place (B&Q even) stocks them - as well as normal car spares places! But for quick service try the 5th Zed emergency service - Zmanalex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
