Is it possible to get new brake caliber sliders for front GTT calipers? Mine are worn pretty bad and are rattling like mad!

mk 3 clio 1.2 16v calipers are the same caliper but must be 16v as 8v are not vented and 16v's are.

They are the renault 5 gt turbo carriers

Hmm looks interesting maybe worth a look. Worse comes to the worse I will have to find some calipers in better condition.

In my experience the carriers dont wear, you could probably go down the scrappy and find a set of sliders off a newer model renault and fit them to your existing carriers.

The reason why the sliders become loose is due to the plastic sleeve wearing on them, you could probably replace the plastic easy enough to fix yours??

Brigsy I don't think your far wrong there doesn't seem to be any wear as such so the missing plastic sleeve is more than likely the cause. I will have them off over the weekend and see what I can do.

Brigsy is correct, its the missing plastic sleeve which causes the rattle :agree:

sorry for making you misunderstand but was refering to the sliders for the size of the caliper not the carriers sorry for sounding cocky just correcting what did not explain clear enough in my post.
