I have been looking all over the place to locate this specific slider pin on a 2004 Jaguar X Type, I can only seem to find it on used calipers.

The pin is double sided - 1 side is the traditional slider pin, whereas the other side is thinner and threads through a bushing of some type and is bolted on inside the bushing. This bushing has a bit of weight to it.

I cannot locate this pin anywhere, I just need the pin, the previous pin broke during removal as it hasnt been removed probably long before I had removed it.

Any help would be great!

 

Initially I thought you are asking, where on the car this bolt goes...
But it looks like you are asking where to buy one.

Where exactly is this bolt being used?
This general shape of bolt is used on the cam covers, but I have a feeling that this bolt is bigger - you don't write anything about the size...

When we know, WHAT kind of bolt this is (where it goes), we might have an idea.
Other than that: It would be possible to DIY-weld one together yourself...

 

The round bushing that has weight to it is nothing more than a sound deadener. You do not need it for your car. So, if that portion of the bolt broke, use the other half and all is good. That is not required to make the brakes work. Kinda like, you can simply not install the weight and use a generic bolt that matches the dimensions of the side of the bolt that goes into the caliper. This shold be something that you can find at a local hardware store. Worst case at a place like Fastenal. Granted, Fastenal may have the complete bolt like you are looking for.

 

Ah! I overlooked the tiny word "callipers" in the initial post...
Thermo saw it.
Now that I know, which bolt it is. and I would have said - just like Thermo - that you do not need to attach the black "thingy", hence, a normal bolt will do.
But I always wondered myself actually what that black thingy is - now I know - a sound deadener...

 

I appreciate your input, I too never understood what this was and couldn't find information anywhere about it, but all good. I had to replace a caliper that didnt include this style bolt, but just wanted to make sure I didnt need it.

In the process of bleeding the brake lines and playing with an ABS issue, so this narrows down the list further.

Thanks!

 

You think it would set off an ABS sensor, I speculated it was unlikely, but the confusion was because I had no idea what the purpose of this bushing was in the first place.

 

Ok so todays learning, there is a Brake Noise dampener see parts 10 or 11 and the securing bolt part 8

seems to be up until a certain VIN #

or just ignore as per Thermo's advice

 

@ Jaguarnutcase: While you are at the rear brakes anyway, have a very thorough inspection of how the rubber-brake lines that go into the rear calippers are looking...
Those on my 2004 X-Type looked shocking: The rubber was absolutely porous (i.e. littered with cracks) and as such highly dangerous. I swapped mine on my 2006 and on my 2004 X-Type - I have not yet started work on my 2001 X-Type. On one X-Type I also swapped all the rubber-seal of the calippers (there are seal-kits for this).

 

I will take a look, I am considering replacing the entire brake system minus the working calipers/redoing the pistons/seals. The car is under 100k miles, and is in great shape overall, did a fuel pump replacement not long ago - finally failed on me, so just want to get this fixed up and probably passed on to someone else. Thank you.

Anyone have any pointers on what to look for specifically? I will look @ peter_of_australias recommendation.

 

jaguarnutcase, check out: E-brake lever sticking - Fix +1 - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum. This will probably answer most of your questions when it comes to the braking system.

 

Thanks for the link, Thermo.
That is a problem I am also having, and maybe that is the solution.
I found now the tool on the net - the keyword for it is: "14mm pentagon socket".
I am just a but confused when you write "e-brake".
I know the "e-hand-brake" from the S-Type. But that is not a feature on my X-Types - and the sticky brake is on my X-Type...

 

Peter, there should be a lever attached to the rear caliper that the e-brake lever gets attached to. That is known for getting rusty and sticking. So, you need to remove the arm/lever and clean behind there, even possibly putting a bit of lube there, to restore normal operation. The rebuild kit will have a new o-ring that goes to the cylinder that converts the action of the lever to the internal mechanism.
