ITS DRIVING ME MAD
Discussion
Fella, they're large discs and callipers....
They are prone to this, ever been down a race track?
Ok, "they dont all do that" sir, mine are living proof, but now and again, when really - and I mean reallyyyy heated up, they do squeel...
I suppose you've tried all the copper putty on the back of the pads and greasing up a few thins here and there....
the only thing I can recommend, is get a sports exhaust fitted and de-catt her, you'll never hear the squeel again!

The pads have a very thin shim fitted to the outside face. I think it’s made of some sort of composite material. This is then bonded to the back of the pad. I guess it is designed to absorb some of the vibration of the pad on the disc.
Ultimate 'Avoid Squeal' Set up
New disc's
New Mintex 1144 rear pads
45 degree Chamfer in the leading edge of the pad
Anti squeal shim bonded to the back of the pad
Copper grease on the other side of the anti squeal shim
Pad held in place with the two standard split pins
Over these pins the return springs are fitted.
The return springs compress as the brake is applied then, when released the springs push the pad away from the disc stopping it catching on the disc as it rotates. This is supposed to stop the Clatter.
I understand that these springs were only fitted to early Cerbs. Indeed most of them have, most likely, corroded away or been lost on the garage floor. If I can I will post a piccy of the rear brakes tomorrow, right now I am stuck in work.

Mine is the same....except i only have the springs on one of the brakes. They STILL squeal like f**k. I thought i'd stopped it by doing the above, but it didn't last. Pi$$es me off too. I'll try different pads next time.
