Brake guide pin covers

[Derek Clews]

Hi All,

Silly question maybe. How important are the brake pin guide covers (you know those little caps you have to take off to undo the guides) on a disc brake? They are part of a build/design as they are present when a car is new. But often seem to be missing in later life. Even main dealers seem to not be fussed.

Keep well

Derek.

I don't think they are very important, some calipers have caps, others
don't.
They are just there to stop dirt and brake dust getting into that end of the
pin guide.

I guess you could push a suitable sized blanking grommet into the end of the
guide tube instead.

Jim
