3200 brake shoe retaining pins

[NickP]

Part 318020336 seems to be NLA..... One of mine has come out and got itself twisted up in the inspection hole. These look like a fairly standard part does anyone know if there is an alternative?

I would just match it up, looks like just an Allen headed bolt. Pop down and I’m sure I can find something for you

 

[NickP]

`yep confirmation these are no longer available, took some pictures with measurements

 

[Zep]

They look remarkably like the BMW E46 fitting kit.

 

[NickP]

yeah they do.... interesting, i wonder if the dimensions are the same?

Alfa Guilia 105 very similar too

 

[NickP]

If the worst comes to the worst I'll heat it up and bend it back into shape with a hammer and vice

This alpha part also looks similar https://classicalfa.com/br053-handbrake-shoe-retaining-pin/

Not quite the same as the BMW pins unfortunately... About 10mm short.

Are 3200 calipers brembo? Is it worth contacting them directly?

Calipers are but shoes aren't not sure who made the shoes....

Perhaps contact Maserati in Italy to find out who the original supplier of the brake shoes were and then contact them.

These aren’t the same form, but they are the right length. If the head diameter is the same they will probably suffice.

Or perhaps find a local company that re-lines brake shoes and see if they have something that would do it.

ordered these, cant see why they wouldnt do the job, thanks Zep

 

[NickP]

So as an update, the pins from ebay were right length but the retaining key is too small so they fall out. I've ended up bending back my original pin using a vice and hammer, mole grips.... Thank goodness the pin was still present. I guess I could have gone to a specialist and asked for a match. Anyhow just another of the parts that is NLA for our cars.

The keyed end of those pins often fit in a washer
