In accident, looking for parts.

[Josh]

I had unfortunate experience of by rear wheel liberating itself from my car this sunday.

I will be buying mostly new parts with the exception of:

LH Rear Quarter 108129
LH Rear Hub Carrier 100469
LH Rear Brake Caliper (No Part Number, just need the casting, so a core basically.)

If anyone has any of these parts I would be very interested.
Ideally I could get the quarter panel on the way to DCS as it is non critical to getting the car moving again.

The accident is going through insurance, however I will be going for a payout and doing the work myself thus the use of used parts.

I have an extra set of brake calipers and can part with the one you need.

Wow, sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. I don't have any of the parts you're in need of, but you may also want to try cross posting this on DMC facebook For Sale group and create a want ad. There are quite a few people on there that don't frequent any of the boards.

Here's a link to the group:

What was the cause of the rear wheel coming off? Loose lug nuts or did the studs shear off the hub?

Loose lug nuts or did the studs shear off the hub?

Appears to be the hub nut. The hub and brake caliper were still inside the wheel. The really unfortunate part is the ears for the caliper mount breaking off the carrier.

Had same thing happen coming back from a DeLorean event with Bruce 'n
Caroll Benson and Don 'n Marylou Debolt. All of a sudden my car started
shaking and rattling. I yelled "MAYDAY, MAYDAY pull over" on the CB. This is
11 thirty at night. We all walked around the car with flashlights trying to
figure out what happened. Someone shined a light on the right rear wheel
and said "aha". Three of the lug nuts were gone. After AAA delivered us to
a hotel I pulled the wheel to find three studs gone and one very bent one.
Borrowed a 32mm? wrench from a farmer in the cafe across the highway,
took the rotor off pounded new studs from NAPA in [with a rock!] and at
10am we were off. It really pays to travel in a group.....

Had a very similar incident occur not long after I bought and drove home my DeLorean from Mississippi to Utah. See all the gory details and repairs below. My insurance was great and covered the cost of the repairs, most of which I did myself.

I don't have parts but I do have sympathy. I had two wheel studs snap last year thanks to a nasty pot-hole and the wheel nuts backing off. Fortunately for me it was at low speed so collateral damage was minimal.

Best of luck with the search!

Shoot me a PM as I have both the carrier and caliper.
