How will this go at MOT time?
Will it be noted that part of the caliper is missing?

So apparently if you fit brass bushings, you don't need the retainer. Maybe that can be explained? Surely others have done this?Z4C_er wrote: Thu Oct 08, 2020 2:59 pmHow will this go at MOT time?

I get that fitting this brass bushing probably takes out a lot of the movement between the caliper and the carrier but it would then not be as designed. Maybe a tester would not bat an eyelid about it not being there, maybe they would if it was spotted, but what about legal implications if there is an accident? It could be argued that the clip is there for safety.Nictrix wrote: Thu Oct 08, 2020 4:24 pmSo apparently if you fit brass bushings, you don't need the retainer. Maybe that can be explained?

Wow! Nice day's work!!bigwinn wrote: Thu Oct 08, 2020 6:08 pm An afternoon of enjoyable works today:
New wipers (first time its rained properly)
When it stopped raining:
New rear shocks (Sachs), top mounts, reinforcing brackets, bump stops, covers etc.
While I was at it I made sure the rear shelf clips were back in as I'd dropped some previously down the holes!
Then usual fluids check etc
Ended the day dropping the sodding brake reservoir down this hole- which will be filled with something in future

What rear top mounts and reinforcing brackets did you use?
