Shouldn't there be a flat spring ( two each caliper ) that is held down by
the triangular plates( moss#582-045)? They should keep the pads from
clanking around. They shouldn't have much motion in the direction of
rotation but can move left and right to the disk. Check the manual or Moss
catalog ( anti rattlespring #582-055). See if that is the problem lotsa
luck.Mike Andrews(tr2 1/2)
