Default What to do when you brake pad falls out. Step by Step

Post for you amusement.

The story is my brake pad fell out on the rear. I was at my parents when i noticed. Jon had a great idea of what to do to get me home as it was a sunday and no motor factors open.

Step 1 - before picture


Step 2 - Use of a bit of skirting board cut to size


Step 3 - Drive Home


LOL. Thanks Jon. brill idea. did the job even though there was a burning wood smell all the way home.
