    Help! Lost front brake pad retainer...going to cry!

    hi,


    I have over hauled my gs550 front brake caliper; from a 1979 bike. I have lost the front pad retainer. I can't seem to find a spare anyway!?

    any ideas? I am in the UK.

    please help, I am so annoyed with myself.

    If you put this thread in the "wanted--parts" section, you might have better luck. Hope you find one soon.

        If you dont find any closer to you I can ship one across the pond.
        You can look for '78-'79 gs1000 too, its the same, at least they use the same pads.
