Geo,

I had a whole series of problems with my restored front 
brakes that squealed to the point of super annoyance.

I tried all the tricks you are thinking about.  the 
solution was the pads themselves.  I was using the stock 
TRF pads.  They were old stock from mid 90s.  I got them 
in a used pats sale.

The cure and still running quiet is the slightly more 
expensive "semi-metallic" pads from Moss.  The are made in 
australia.

585-525  $28.95  PAD SET, semi-metallic  
  TR3B (TCF-series), TR4 from CT4690 (wire wheels) CT4388 
(disc wheels), TR4A
