I have reads about these on the forum. What are they, where do i get them and how much do they cost? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

They are pieces of aluminium that you put between the caliper's piston and back of brake pad to prevent squeal

Close Kelv27, they're stainless steel

I make and despatch these shims.
There will be more shims available next week priced @£22 delivered within UK, drop me a PM.
Karl

Oops Stainless Steel i mean

You have PM.

And they work.
Peace at last

I have sent a PM

Mawv,you got them on the car already!!!
Karlos recommends you re grease them,if squek returns though!

I fitted them to my car 6months back and never a peep since

Ady

Will the Coupe ones you've designed Karlos fit a 406 Coupe? I have a mate with Brembos on his 406 Coupe and they squeal like a b bastard d! I pointed him in this direction on the assumption they are the same calipers?

Karl has confirmed they will fit. He'll be a happy chappy.

im sure they fit both,pm Karlos to be sure,to be sure,(sorry)

Karl.

I sent you payment on the 2nd of this month. I assume you received it and you are sending me the shims? As yet, I've heard nothing from you.

Thanks.

Mark.

Mark,

Sorry I've been very busy with work and I've packed all shims purchased to date (including yours) and have not had a chance to post them.

They will be in the mornings post.
Let me know when they arrive.

Karl

Cool. Thanks mate, appreciated.

Didn't mean to sound pushy, just hadn't heard from you.

Thanks again.

Received my set this morning, can't wait to get them fitted.
Many thanks

Oh and thanks Gunzi for pointing me to here, ill c ya at work.

All received ok.

Thanks mate!

Mine used to squeal but since fitting red dot grooved and pads, no squealing at all. I'm sure its all down correct fitting and greasing.

Thats all ok until those red dot disc warp.
From my experiance they will.
Give them a few months....and keep your receipt.
I got all my money back after two sets warped !!
Good luck.

Glad all shims received OK

Tim, yes I read your previous post.
So far so good. Maybe they have sorted their quality....

Paul @ MM fitted mine last month. Haven't made much difference really

What kind of condition are your calipers in Adam?

Having tried 2 types of disc and pad inc OE ones(no cure yet ) if shims are the way forward ? has anybody got any ? Were there any factory fitted ones ? I could get some made if enough people wanted them , a few sets would have to be made to get the price down.

i have shims fitted with my new discs and pads, still squeals...... really annoying me now

Strange,.Mine also fitted by Paul and the squeal dissapeared !!

Not really what I was getting at matey. They just haven't made a difference.

I carried out a full re-furbish on my Brembos over the past few months when the Coupe was off the road for the winter, however the winter is well and truly back with a vengeance around here.

I done a full seals kit and stripped the paint off and re painted Red with white decals. also new bleed nipples and fresh feeder pipes and also threw in some new flexi's aswell

I also applied a set of my new Laser cut shims, having ran on the original hand cut version for over a year with very little squeal, only minimal when brake are very hot

Anyway, the brakes are excellent as ever and zero trace of squeal at all at any speed and at any temperature.
Extremely happy bunny and full confidence in my wee shim design
Refurb and shims = zero squeal!
