Stock Front Calipers

[DTZ]

 

 

My backing plates are making noises while going over bumps and pot holes. I can't seem to find new ones, maybe I have them in wrong?I tried  rotating them up and down in position.

Is there retro-fit caliper for 13" wheels?

Thanks!

What's this for??? 13" so... 510?

 

Drum brakes have backing plates, maybe you mean splash guards? They can get pretty rusty and fall apart. Might be better to just take them off and run without.

 

The 610 through '74 and the 710 through '75 used the same caliper but if looking through auto supply stores they'll know this. After the '74 610 and '75 710 the calipers were changed to dual pistons and larger pads. They should retro fit the earlier 610 and thus the 510.

It's a 1970 510. Front, stock calipers. A better description is the "pad clips"? The part that holds the pads in place.

[banzai510(hainz)]

usually those never squeek those pad clips. its the back of the pads.  I spayed the red anti squeal stuff on there.  Just dont drop it in the dirt its fucking sticky and picks up everthing. Youll be yelling FUCK!!!!

Yahoo???? they want me to join so I can see your pictures. Screw that.

 

These...? they're called "anti rattle clips"

 

[DTZ]

Yes those! they are rattling with the OEM pads.

I couldn't find the "upload" option..

[datzenmike]

I would remove them and go for a drive to be sure that's the rattle. Could be a rusted out splash guard.

 

 

Try bending them so they clip on tighter.

[DTZ]

Okay, I'll take them out, thanks!

Just to verify they are the cause of the sound. I don't think they are.

 

Definition of irony: my anti rattle clips are the cause of the rattle.

The clips may rattle, but they keep the pads from rattling against the rotor. I used to ditch all that crap, but in the wisdom of my years, I've learned how to keep those types of things on a vehicle. I would try bending them, as suggested, and use some caliper grease on them only where they contact the pads. Then they shouldn't squeal or rattle.

I have quite a few stock 510 calipers & misc caliper parts if you need anything.  I will also have stock 510 front "splash shields" (behind the rotors).  I might even have NOS hardware in the parts load that I got a few months ago, but would have to dig...........PM me if you need anything!

So I bent the anti rattle clips and  put the anti- rattle goop on them. Much better, no noise! I discovered another noise that was in the background that became louder. It was the metal vacuum  tube to the automatic transmission, it was  loose, rattling on the bell housing!

Thanks for the support!!!
