Hullo all.
Just refurbished the front calipers on my Ten after an MoT failure. Whilst I was there I took a chance on ordering a pair of these stainless pins as I've never been that happy with the OE ones. They always rust up and catch the pads, and I've always had to drill the holes in the pads out to allow them to slide.
Anyway, for a tenner I thought they were a bloody good item.
Pip pip

Where did you get them from and how much were they?

Sorry, it's the crappy text colour. link is here- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2514260615...84.m1439.l2649

Or you can click on where I wrote 'these stainless pins' in the OP.

I'd also say that the R-clips that come with the pins are just BZP so keep your OE ones as they're stainless and use them.

The pin for the rear calliper is different, any stainless equivalents?

I don't know but the Brembo caliper is used on KTMs too.

Although thinking about it, the pad pin has a sprung steel collar attached/as part of it, so not sure you could get a SS one.
