Technical Help Sourcing a part please - Urgent

[DJA440]

Hi, i need to urgently source a part for my wifes car (62 Plate 500) to get her back on the road. I'm told it is part number: 77364675 and while on the phonr to fiat it's genuine only at a cost of nearly £500! Part 2 in the diagram below. I'vejust replaced both bottom arms, track rod ends and discs with pads and the bolt assembly that's part of the carrier has perished / siezed causing the pads to be in constant contact with the disc and even after a short drive there is smoke from that side and the wheel is red hot to the touch.

Does anyone have a source for these that is maybe a pattern part or am i looking at a breaker?

No picture but this is likely what you need ring them to check? It maybe out of stock but others will be able to supply?

I had a look and that part number returns only the caliper but it's definately the acarrier. This diagram details it and the parts.

I used Bigg Red previously for refurbished calipers on Lancia Fulvia. Recommended by a pal and I was pleased with price, service and years subsequently use.

Its a bit tricky to work out if this is the caliper or bracket? Title says carrier
Contact then to ensure the correct part

That "entity" is associated with Autodoc. I've previous trouble with it and would never use again even as a comparative.

I too had a never again experience with Autodoc, that cost me £300( car had to go to dealer to eventually fix )

The carrier is not part of any brake caliper you get. The likes of Budveg and Bigg Red take knackered calipers, strip them down, clean the b'jesus out of them and then re-assemble them with new components.. so it's like a new caliper but obviously with a used body (for all the difference that makes, once it's been media-blasted and re-plated).

Anyhow.. carriers are not part of the caliper. Carriers, however, are never in demand and never (i.e. rarely) get broken or damaged .. so anyone breaking Fiat 500s is going to have a shed-load of them. Don't mess about.. just get a seconda mano one from a breaker. Use silicone sealant on the back side of the bolt hole (I believe it passes all the way through the carrier) so that the bolt doesn't get rusted in ever again.

That's the entire caliper not including the carrier but thanks.

Thnks all, i've sent some messages to a few breakers. I found a breaker near me with a 500 just there ready to take it off but they don't remove bits for the public and they don't loan tools. So this weekend i'll borrow the tools i need from a mate and hope that it's still there.

THis is what i need i think but it's from Lithuania and no real way to make sure it fits but at £30 guess it's worth a punt.

Check it!
I think it's wrong. Abarth is bigger brake.
It's aluminium.

I’ve ordered a part from a brewer. If of interest I’ll update.

 

[Jockstrap]

bottled or a keg ?

brings a whole new meaning to "breaker-bar"

Ha! That’ll teach me to try and type when distracted. This thing would drive you to drink mind you!!
