BRAKE HOSES I have had flexible brake hoses made. They are identical to the original as far as the locating caliper banjo end "titty bit" goes. The only difference is the middle "support thingo" piece is sliding. BRAKE PADS I can get hold of Bendix front brake pads in their Advan...

Hmmm... interesting. Thanks Bugle. I had no idea that had happened. I can see that he posted that about 40 minutes before I rang him to explain the situation. When I spoke with him he has agreed to accept the package back if I can't get a stub organised by tomorrow lunchtime. Knowing the above has m...

Hi Bob. I guess that means I'll be over on Thursday evening for a cuppa then! I'm happy to buy or swap if you have the right side stub but as a last resort I'll borrow. The stone/dust plate is something I'd like to fit up as well but I can manage without it for the moment. I just want to get this ca...

Yeah, unfortunately eBay have a fairly blas? attitude about so called "handling fees" and won't take action except under some pretty distinct circumstances. I have my own beliefs about charging a handling fee. If a seller is a business and it costs them (in time and wages) to mail stuff th...

Thanks Impulsive Yank. I finally had a reply to my eBay question today. He says Shipping is stated in the body of the auction. Thanks! after I asked them to consider reducing the shipping price by sending in a flat rate post package where the price doesn't alter. They obviously prefer to overcharge ...

Bradzle isn't 100% sure that he can supply the required axle so at this stage I'm still on the lookout in the hope someone can come up with one before Thursday morning. Anyone else? Is there anyone out there who is wrecking a Piazza and has a right stub axle to offer? I'm more than happy to swap it ...

Thanks Bob. I messaged Brad and he is going to search one out when he can for me. He also verified the one in the image as being a left side stub axle. Does anyone have a right side flexible brake hose and one of those tin protective backing plates for the right side? My r/h hose has been cut and th...

Hi peoples. I have got myself into a predicament buying a Piazza disc brake setup that had supposedly been in a Gemini. I picked it up in a hurry and now find that it consists of one complete side and the other side (which the caliper had been removed from) turns out to be a second stub axle, the sa...

I wish these bastards would ship overseas.. Really need some front brake hoses and I can't find em anywhere here. They got brake pads too.. http://oem.thepartsbin.com/parts/thepartsbin/parts.jsp?year=1986&make=IS&model=IMP--004 I can get hoses made to order. A local brake service manufactur...

Righto, there is no need to go chasing brake bads from overseas at the moment. I have done some checking and Bendix will still supply a front brake pad to suit. It won't be something you can expect to be found on the local parts shop shelf (unless by fluke they happen to have some old stock) and it ...

Hmmm. Might be time to start searching all the local brake and spare parts companies to see what can be dug up. May also be an idea to check and see what levels of shelf stock DBA have as far as new rotors go. They might still make up a single batch run if needed but that may add to the price too. W...

Is it only me or has anyone else found that Ferodo and Bendix no longer list a replacement brake pad for the Piazza front brake? I have not checked for rear pad listings. Does anyone have a source for front pads? Does anyone have a part number for the pads? DBA still show a listing for replacement s...

I have the the manual that you are looking for. PM or email me for bank account details thay you can transfer some bux into and I'll send you off a copy.
