Hi all
Has anyone undertaken a repair of the engagement face of the pawl that clicks
into the teath on the push rod, thereby actuating the self ajustment. I
am doing up another set of callipers for another car and I have noticed that
on all my current spare bits, the face of the pawl is worn. This may limit
correct engagement and hence ajustment. Naturally I don't want to recondition
and fit a set of callipers only to have them fail in this regard. I have
contemplated welding a small blob of metal onto the face and grinding it
to shape, and silver soldering on a piece of tool steel. However both procedures
would be difficult given size, correct angles etc. Perhaps someone has managed
to buy a new part, if so from where? All suggestions gratefully received
cheers Roger Matheson
