Wilwood Dynapro, pads sliding out

[sharky]

OK so my Massive strret kit is installed and I have been driving the car around (note none of this is from a problem to do with massive products, this is mearly thier adapters and wilwood/racing brake setup) It was fine for a few dyas and now I see that my pads are falling out, I popped them back in but they sstill seem to slide out. Isnt there some sort of pin that holds them in, seems likr there are provisions for this, sorry I feel stupid asking but everything seemed right on install.

Did the calipers not come with a big W shaped metal pin?



This is what the caliper should look like with pads in, retaining clip and the bolt that holds the retaining clip.

Indeed. There shoud be the "W" shaped retaining clip. If you bought the calipers off me, they should also come with the bridgebolt which is optional. Using a straight brakeline fitting as pictured is a recipe for problems as the brakelines will hit the swaybar on full lock. Which is why I supply 90° fittings.

Lee I bought the Calipers from Jegs as well as the pads, no bridge bolt and I think that is what I need. I have the W pin, maybe they just wernt put in right, have to take a look as soon as it isnt frickin freazing out. Good thing its not a DD

Yup. It is cold outside. I just started a fire in the fireplace.

The bridgebolt helps stiffening the caliper. It is an option from Wilwood. It will not keep the pad from moving, the W-shaped pin will. BTW The caliper cam with a short 1/4" bolt, which is used to retain the clip as can be seen in the picture in that second post.

Would you have a close-up picture of your install. Maybe we can see what is not "right".
