Rebuilding 300ZX Calipers.. need some help

[rootS13]

I apologize if this is the wrong forum, but I need help as soon as possible and this will probably get more hits. Im taking apart 300zx brake calipers to powdercoat them and then rebuild them.

When I took apart the smaller calipers (the fronts?) I noticed that Im missing some pieces that were on the other one. Pics are below.

Here are the pieces Im missing.

And heres the size of the caliper to help understand

So, If anyone could tell me what these parts are called or where I can find them, it would greatly be appreciated.

The only kits Ive found are ones with the O rings, and the seals. Thanks in advance.

looks like a back brake to me.and thats just bolts and stuff you can get at a hardware store

[rootS13]

Yeah I wasnt sure if they were the front or back... I doubt a hardware store would have that pin or the metal clip thing that goes on top of the pads.

Yep, that's a rear caliper.

Just get a rebuild kit, Z1 Motorsports should have them.

I did, the rebuild kit only had the o-rings, the seals, and the clips. It didnt come with any of the parts Im missing.

Where did you get it? Usually everything except those 2 bolts should have been with a rebuilt kit.

The kit was from Z1. Courtesy had the parts though... $124 dollars for the pieces.

for the little o-rings that sit between the caliper halves, look here

since it's all oem, it's pricey. i've seen the kits from z1, and the only thing that worried me about the small o-rings they offer are that they have a round cross section (not squared like stock) and idk what material they're made out of (the brake fluid will break down certain types of rubber). not trying to plug my own thread or that company, but i learned a lot about those rings and put in work for a good week straight to find a source.

Thanks again, I havent taken the two halves apart yet to see the condition of those. But that is my next step.

[numbnuts240]

if you're taking them apart, replace them. the youngest ones are still 16 years old.

[rootS13]

What was the hardness that you ordered for those, standard?

[numbnuts240]

sure. "hardness" was never discussed when i talked to that company. they felt like the factory rings, just new.

[rootS13]

Idk, the options were between 40 and 90 durometer and standard... whatever that means.
