[Healeys] Brake squeal

[Oudesluys]

Did you apply some copper/aluminium grease on the shims, both calliper 
and pad side, and some on the sliding surfaces of the calliper? This may 
reduce the squealing considerably.
Bedding in may help after a while.
Did you check if the dimensions of the pads were OK? I found that in 
some cases you have to slightly file/sand down the sides of the metal 
backing plate, no matter what make.
Sanding/filing the leading edge of the brake pads at 45: may help as well.
Which make/type pad did you fit?
