Caliper guide pins front

XJ40
1

I have an 89 xj40 and I broke one trying to source a new one while i drill out the snapped one, i dont know what brakes i have but the brake cylinder says garlan, rear pins are a dime a dozen but the fronts are longer and wont work , i think, cant find fromt pins. Rock auto has some but not for tervis and no sizes are given, ideas?I

I think that brake cylinder says Girling, they are brake manufacturers - not sure but I think earlier cars like yours are not Teves?? just guessing tho, don’t know. Check your system against the VIN, there are a couple of brake systems on the earlier cars and going by model year can get you the wrong bits. Go here, get the part number then google that number.

Only ones I could find there were rear pins, too short for the front but I did finally find them just awaitng delivery.
