Thread: Brake help please....

Tweet

I mentioned I'm putting on a new chrome front end on my roadster. I'm just putting the new brakes on. The new caliper/pads are not like the ones I'm taking off and I have a couple questions.

The inner pads next to the piston are mirror images of each other. There is a small channel shaped metal piece that is on the right side of one and left side of the other. So depending on which side of the car I put it on, it'll either be on the leading or trailing side of the pad. Which is correct? This is shown in the close up pic number two.

There is a very small metal piece (pic 3) that I do not know where it goes. Anybody help?

Thanks in advance!
