Default Need a couple of bits

Does anyone have a spare plate that the ARB mounts on to (passenger side)? My turbo just failed its MOT because the mounting plate is cracked. I'd prefer a new one rather than getting mine welded.

I also need a caliper clip as one of mine has come off! It's for the later style calipers that have bigger holes where the clip fits in to.

Can anyone help? Cheers

I have a ARB corner plate you can have but can't get to the post office this week. Can pick it up, but it's a bit of a trek?

It's the metal clip that goes on the side of the caliper, ie if you were looking straight through the wheel you'd see the side of the caliper and the clip attached to it.

Don't mind waiting, that would be great if you've got one

Ok I might have a look at the weekend - I thought only the better mk4 models had the arb tho? Might be difficult to find xr3's or RST's just in a scrappy?

yes I think that's the clip. Are those standard RST brakes tho? Look a bit bigger for some reason?

The base models have front ARB's just not very thick ones, the ARB bushes may therefore be different too so dont chuck your old ones out just in case!
