Peel on shims worked for a few miles then they curled up and tore and really
squealed. I have the Moss Chinese BJ8 calipers and found that for some reason I
had the early caliper style shims which squealed. Getting the proper BJ8 shims
from BCS cured it. no goop required.

Subject: [Healeys] brake squeal
took the barn find for a long enough run yesterday to heat up the brakes and
they began to really squeal. have new pads, the softest they had, and they had
a small sticky pad on the back of the metal so I made the assumption that they
were the shims. after I pulled the pads and put on that brake anti-squeal and
did another run I swear it was louder. do I need the little metal shims like
on the bj8. they have only a few miles on them, so the pads may have to wear
in, but how long should it take. since the rotors sat for 25 years, could it
be the problem? TIA for any help.
