thanks LONGBROW, but that site didn't work. thanks for the pic though. do you need the little split pins?? i may have to just buy some of those, because none of the pins had any.

Your local auto parts store should be able to get these parts -- it's called a "brake hardware kit". Or just get it from the wreckers, all the B110, B210 and B310 used these.

You don't need the split pins, you can use ordinary cotter pins. I even used a paper clip for years, didn't have a problem.

so what is the technical name for it, iv'e just been calling is a pin but what would you call it if someone was to look it up on a parts system? im still not 100% shore where to shop for one in australia, maybe some where like supercheap, repco or rare spears might be able to get one in but only in a pare, with all this other #### that i don't need or afford. the local wreckers where i brought the struts from in the first place didn't have any, i even went around the yard with the bloke and we couldn't find one. so my search continues, its just a small little thing that is holding me back its sooo frustrating!!

Please post up a picture of the caliper you have
And a picture of the sample pin you have

I'll have a look around
