KH question

4spdragtop said

Thanks for posting ir3333. Good point.
When I was filing down the rails lightly I got to " fresh metal" but there are still divots.(I'll post better pics tomorrow)
I haven't measured but some are approx 1/8" deep. That seems like a lot. I dont have clips to check the fit yet as my thick skull forgot to order when I ordered pistons and seals.
I'll post pics tomorrow
Thanks all

Boy, if you have divot's that deep on the caliper "ways" where the pad sets down, you probably don't have any choice but to have them welded up, and file everything smooth.
Sounds like you have some really worn caliper body's.
Those pad retainer clips are designed to keep the pads from coming out the top of the rotor, and i don't know about this "rattle" over a rough road.
To the op.
If your buying Centric pad hold down clips, then in my experience they have to be bent down somewhat for proper usage.
You can easily figure it out when you set pads down into the caliper.
