Backplates and bolts

sciteacher · 15-10-16, 03:17 PM

Well, I've managed to get one caliper carrier off at the fron (well big son did) but the other has rather rounded bolt heads. They will come off, with effort I suppose, but will need replacing. Can anyone advise me if Audi still stock these bolts? I imagine that they are dirt cheap

, but I'd rather replace them.

Also, how is the back plate attached" It all looks a bit cruddy and Haynes is not really helpful. I would like to take them off and refurb them.

I Googled the part no shown on this page: http://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+80+.../615-66003/#2A and it said they are available. The backplate is also shown to see how it's fixed on.

I think B3 and B4 rear shields are different (different axles). Not sure on front one.

I have just sorted out the FREE parts i gave away at ADI and i have got good B3 and B4 rear guards (at least i think thats what they fit)

The bolts are just a standard size for the fronts. The rears hold the stub axle on and are cap head bolts.

Caliper carrier bolts are a funny thread (or at least S6 rear carrier bolts are) different pitch

That's odd as i looked up 1990 part no's ( B3 ), and 1993 part no's ( B4 ) and they were the same

Having said that, i am a bit of a novice

The fronts seem to go by engine code, just looked it all up again.

Maybe its because my rear ones are from a Cabriolet and 80 saloon???? if it wasn't so hard to upload pictures i could show you the difference
