[Healeys] Squealing Brakes

"Brake squeal is simply a high frequency vibration of the pad against the

piston. If this can be interrupted by a shim (usually but not always works).

Any sort of grease or other substance between the parts will dampen the

vibration. If shims don't stop the squeal, a high temp. silicone grease

smeared lightly between the parts will do it."

 

I've used duct tape on the back of the pads. Spray gasket, works, too.
