Need help locating a source for a couple new 11mm body dia. x 20mm grip length quick release pins as used on the Brembo MK1 quick release caliper set ups, similar to any of the ones pictured (preferably the older/lighter bottom one). I can't find any place that stocks that size, and no manufacturer will talk unless you'll place a huge minimum order....which seems to have a familiar ring to it. Any help would be appreciated. Bill

Hey Bill, Avibank was the company that made the pins. Did they tell say you need a minimum order? I bought these pins from them many, many years ago for around $35 each. Ah those were the days. They sometimes come up on ebay, or if you have a nice set of the big ones I would trade you. I find the small ones a pain to remove easily. Lou

Thanks Lou, I'm still trying to find a way to talk to someone at Avibank who could tell me if any of their distributors have a couple of 11 x 20 pins in stock somewhere. The big pin in the middle is the only one I have - I guess - I can't find the other one. The top one (I have a pair) are Avibank ones I got from Carr Lane several years ago. They are 11mm, but the grip length is 1.00 inch. I may have to bond spacers on them to shorten their grip length to 20mm. There are several other q-r pin manufactures out there, but none of them list 11mm pins. Bill

Have you tried Aircraft Spruce or Pegasus racing? If you haven't be forewarned,the catalogs are dangerous. Many tempting bits you didn't know you needed.

Dear Santa, I finally got a quote for new q-r pins. So please Santa, if you haven't left to deliver presents yet, I'm asking for two of the second item, the older style pins. I've been good. Bill

Is that for a complete fairing? 15 weeks to send? You're going to need more than Santa. The price of originality,,,,,,,,,

A late reply to this topic but maybe helpful to those looking for what you call Q-R pins.
Firstly they are better known in the aero world as PIP pins & they turn in the UK quite regularly as EX WD surplus in sizes not always that useful to us but now & then they can be had very cheaply in comparison to new prices.
Secondly the majority of pins made were in imperial sizes not metric. I have a NOS set of P432 (think that the # from memory) QD Brembos on brackets made for M1R forks & they have PIPs on both caliper mount & for pad retention from new - imperial sized.
The sizing codes on Avibanks is a 4 digit code after the pin type e.g pin type 3201 code 0415.
04 is the pin diameter in sixteenths of an inch i.e a quarter inch diameter pin 15 is the grip length in tenths of an inch - shoulder to ball - i.e 1.5"
Hope that helps. I can supply the codes of the pins I am using if that helps anyone
The 11mm pin you are looking for is actually a 7/16" diameter one. The grip length will probably be 8/10" for the hanger PIP. A suitable pin would be an Avibank 0302 0708 in that case.
