As I said before on this forum, if you keep a 240 long enough, you will have to replace parts which you never knew could wear out.
I have to renew the front brake backing plates on a '90 240. In changing the backing plates, I also have to replace what I would call the "flange ring" which mounts on top of the backing plate. This flange ring is a stamped metal part which is about 5 in. (130mm) in diameter on the OD, 3 in. (80mm) on the ID with a collar about 5/8 in.(15mm) high on the ID.
Also, I need the spring C-clips which are mounted on both ends of the front brake hoses.
I called a dealer and he can't find part numbers for either of these two items. Perhaps they are part of an assembly. Can anyone tell me the part numbers for these items?
If anyone has a pair of un-rotted-out front backing plates with the "flange rings" for sale, I would very much like to buy them.
Thanks, one and all,
Rich
