• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Anyone has any ideas, how to fix it? The new one is for 430 :(
 
You get a rock up in there? If the only real damage is the one missing tab, I'd throw some new pads in and run it. Just make sure the pads don't have enough movement to reach the bobbins.

Other option is to buy one used, pretty much all SM Husky calipers are interchangeable if they're the same type (axial vs radial mount)
 
That's the side of the caliper between the spokes and the rotor and it's the upper part. How could something have hit that point? And how could it have broken without any bump? :confused:
That's odd!
Did you unintentionally drop the caliper after having removed it?
Maybe you could make someone weld the tab (edit: or a piece of aluminium) and the caliper with a TIG welding.

If a chunk of gravel got thrown up and wedged between a bobbin and the caliper tab or bake pad, it could do that kind of damage.

Check both ends of all of your bobbins to make sure none are damaged.
