Hi guys, it's help time again.
I have taken my rear brakes apart to give them a clean and a lick of paint.
When I took the clips that hold the brake cylinders on off I found that they were broken and so I can't re-use them.
This is what came off....
I bought some nice shiny new replacements....
When I took the clips off, this fell out too...
Now, the problem I have is that I don't know the orientation of the clips for when I put them back on.
The manual isn't much help and neither is the parts catalogue.
The part in the 3rd picture isn't mentioned and so I don't know what it does.
I wondered if one of you guys could help me with this and any photos of the orientation would be wonderful.
Many Thanks!!!!
Brake Cylinder Clips.
Hi Martin.
Nice timing on the post. I have been doing the same. I only have one of each for the two sides. I wondered why one side was loose. I didn't notice the clips are different . I would say looking at your pic's that one clip sits under the other. I think the dimples in one clip must fit into the holes on the other. As for yoyur third pic
I removed mine and have taken a pic.

Hi Mal, it looks like we'll both gain from this one then.
I should point out that the clip in the 3rd photo is broken. I think it should be a continuous loop.
I've tried fitting them with the dimples in the holes but when I moved the cylinder, which the manual says it should be able to do, they dissassemble themselves.
Hopefully, if I can find the correct positioning, they will stay in position.
Thanks for the pic btw. Much appreciated.
