    Does anyone have one of these? Or the pair? It's a shim off an '82 XJ1100J front brake caliper. I lost one in the process of rebuilding my brakes. Of course it's another discontinued part from Yamaha and now it's the only thing holding me up. I'm willing to pay for it.

    Thanks.

    THICKNESS is important here. Chacal and I have discovered multiple thicknesses of the metal stock in use; it matters for proper sliding pin clearance and operation. Get a thickness measurement and post it; I'll see what I've got.

    Thanks for the response, Fitz!

    It measures .015" with a caliper (no pun intended).
