This is such a hard piece of hardware to describe but here goes:
Firstly, I have gtr32 front brakes. So, yes, this would possibly be better placed in a skyline forum but Meh.
On the front brakes there are two pins to hold the pads in. To hold those pins in place there is a piece of lockwire-ish wire in a specific shape to stop the pins from sliding out. Would a standard piece of lockwire or general wire of a decent enough strength be good enough to thread between the two pins? Finding a replacement wire will be a b****.
Alternatively, does anyone know (other than a wreckers. I'll give them a go when I get a chance) where I might get an actual replacement wire? Nissan dealer said $40nz to import one stupid piece of wire.
