Brake Retaining Clips Missing

Post by Dane » Sun Mar 21, 2010 6:10 am

G'Day Guys,

Anybody know of a reliable fix (apart from changing out the caliper), to hold the pads steady in the caliper? Until I can get hold of another.

The brakes still work, I just get a metallic sound (clang, clang) when I go other bumps in the road, and I guess the vibration could damage the pad? The noise stops whenever I apply the brakes.

Thanks.

Yep we have it here.

As far as I know though its mainly used to stop squeaks from the pads....not clunks/movement.

I have the same issue too...let us know how you get on dane

I may have found some new replacements. Anybody interested before I place an order from the US?
