brake caliper\ brake caliper pin escort 1997 si
hey everyone! my first post 
anyway yesterday a scratching noise started to happen on my left side tyre. on looking at the tyre i noticed my brake caliper was scratching the inside of my alloy . it seems that the pin at the botom of the caliper has broke off (dunno where it is!) and so my caliper has 'poped' open at one end and so is scratching my alloy. took my wheel off today and just put a nut and bolt thru the holes that the pin used to go thru for now. anyway, has anyone else ever had this problem? anyone know where to get a new pin from? also now my brakes are very 'squashy'. i have to press my pedal down loads more and the response is not as good, i didnt think this would happen seen as ive lost no fluid or nothing just drove around for half a day with the caliper 'poped' open. any help very greatly appreciated.
