Red face Quick fix

That pin would have fallen out by itself if there was not that much of rust holding it there...I had to come up with an idea until the new brake kit arrives, including new parts for the calipers. I made a gap into the pin, on the opposite side of it, right around at the end of it, then put that thing on temporarily after clipping the corners off. If it holds for a few days, that`s fine.

how important is it to change that rear axle bump stop? The top part is cracked, ... the lower part is bad
