TRG had some used ones for a while, but I think they are gone. Check their site though.

Thanks

Rich, these are metal pieces designed to sit in the cavity of the caliper puck and attach to the ceramic puck. I heard about these when I was working towards getting my calipers rebuilt. I'll see if I can find the post here about them. I bought a complete set for all four corners. Will go in next time I change pads.

Call John Hayworth at Hayworth Racing Brakes. John is one of the "go-to" guys for brake caliper rebuilds. He did mine and they came back GREAT! He knew about these puck holders and supplied the part number. Unfortunately, I did not get the puck holders to him in time before he finished my rebuild. Hayworth Racing Brakes No affiliation other than being a VERY satisfied customer.

John did a GREAT job and the calipers came back looking like they just came off the Brembo manufacturing line.

Default Hayworth

I second the recommendation of John Hayworth. I have used him for years for caliper rebuilds, rotors and hats.
