Brake Pad Rattles

Hi,
Mine had the same problem with the brakes and I added 3M sticky backed pads between the pistons and pads. The pads are designed for the job and the problem has now been cured. I think that they were about ? 4.00. If you want a set, let me know and I can get them and post them to you.
Where abouts are you located ?
Regards,
Nick.

Would the double-sided sticky tape used for carpets not do this job? I recently fitted +2 front caplipers to my Sprint and I was convinced by the very loud rattling noise that some major part of the car was trying to fall off- it turned out to be the front pads rattling.
I could not at that time obtain the shims but have (yesterday) receiv :ph34r: ed some from Rimmer Bros who are an excellent source for Triumph parts in the UK. I will fit them today and try the sticky tape too.
Cheers,
Pete
