Somehow lost the bolt thing that goes through the caliper and pads, circlip and all. Done a quick search on-line at the usual, obvious places without success. Basically, a where from question.. please.
Thnx in advance (on Hong Kong time zone)

mmel,
that's the jobbie, cheers
Jon
Oh hang on. Will that fit the newer 975 ? Looks right but not sure.
Again I am indebted to the STW greater knowledge

Should do the trick, reviews suggest it works with older era brakes, but no stock until march.
Might take a punt on one so I can do away with the bloody split pin on my 595 caliper (need to tap the threads first though)
BigYinn,
I agree LOOKS right.. but ?? Chinese New Year in HK, LBS on hols, can't really wait until March either
For £1.79 its got to be worth a punt.
A split pin will do you as a temp fix until you can get a proper replacement.
do they not come free with new pads?
BY and MWS,
Genuinely thnx. Split pin is a great bodge, at least an improvement on the cable tie i used to get home ! Not sure if the bolt comes with new pads, have to wait until next week when LBS reopens. Cheers both and I will order those suggested earlier just to see if they're OK.
FYI, I blame human error (mine) for the loss
No bolts with new pads, not even genuine shimano ones.
Oh,
Found these on the Bay, but $30 - US ?
Jon
(Hope the link works)

That'll be aluminium replacement pins. Bargain!
I'd stick a split pin in there and put the proper pin on back order with Wiggle, unless you want to spend £40.
You could find a suitable length threaded bolt and file the threads smooth on it (barring the first bit), that's what I've done in the past.
More like this one then? [url= http://www.petracycles.co.uk/shimano-spares-br-m965-disc-pad-axle-and-snap-ring-p-7424.html ]Click[/url]
In stock too!
That will fit fine, although I prefer the allen bolt ones rather than the screwdriver slot ones.
If it siezes in there its easier to use an allen key without destroying the head.
