Default Where to find the pins which hold the pads in caliper

I lost one of the pins that holds the pads in the caliper. It is a Brembo F40, the pins should be the same as a lot of the newer ones, though. It is the long pin that goes through the ears on the pads, and has a small cotter pin that holds it in place through a hole in one end.

I looked on their site and through several distributers but no one lists them and the customer service numbers I found were overseas. Wilwood shows lots but none looked quite right.

Anyone have a suggestion on where to get Brembo parts?

Thanks.

My lord that place has everything. Lots of things that might work but certianly not the exact pin. I need to take some measurements and see exactly what I can use; some sort of long cotter pin is probably fine.

Thanks for the suggestion.

You are my new hero. That's the one.

I found these guys, was going to call Monday as they seem to have everything. Looks like Stoptech parts will work for a lot of the Brembo calipers.

Regardless, now i don't have to.

I also learned that Amazon carries PFC and Hawk brake pads. Who knew?

Out of curiosity, what did you use as your search string? "pin" and "caliper pin" weren't getting it for me.
