Anti rattle springs?
RazMan - 8/2/07 at 12:09 AM

Anyone got an idea of which anti rattle springs might fit my Wilwood Dynalites? The pads rattle like hell and I have tried putting small springs over the split pin to add some tension but it is only partly successful.
Rally Design tell me that they are not available but it ocurred to me that some tin tops will have a similar shape that might fit - any ideas guys?

just cut some out of thin sheet with little fingers on them and temper the metal. Will be just as good as any you can buy.

though looking at them a larger version of the sierra type would work fine.

I've got fat fingers but I could have a go I suppose

I figured on taking the lazy route and buying some - seems a lot of work for such a little job somehow

Try Halfrauds - you can browse the packs of brake fittings (pins/shims/springs) to see what suits.

your red wire reminds me a bit of the cortina springs ... but then I wasn't paying attention enuf to say they will fit; it would be a starting point for your search.

wire is a better idea than sheet, far easier to make the spring.
