Hi all,
I recently replaced the front calipers on my BT7 (https://www.britishcarforum.com/bcf/showthread.php?106036-BT7-brales-poor-stopping-power-any-advice). I've "bedded" these in using the described technique but now they have to started to squeal when breaking from low speeds. There were no anti squeal shims on the vehicle. I believe that originally no such items were fitted.
I intend to retro-fit a anti squeal shim kit (from AH Spares) to the BT7 (www.https://www.ahead4healeys.co.uk/KIT---ANTI-SQUEAL---INC--PINS---CLIPS-id1178.aspx ) and am looking for advice on how to fit.
I believe the shims are inserted following the direction of the arrow. Should I use any brake grease on the back of the pads or shims?
Would it be best to chamfer the pads? if so where?
Thanks for any advice.
Phil
