Looking for supplier of Brembo hardware for GTV6/Milano front calipers. I've been experiencing clatter (metallic sound) when hitting bumps in the road. ' Makes me feel like a Beverly Hillbilly in the chuckwagon with the pots-n-pans hanging on the sides clangin' about!
I've got a couple of viadocks near the house whose condition is circa 1890. When I drive under (fast as I can so I fly over most bumps) I hear more clatter than Alfa v6 song - totally unacceptable. To try and figure-out where the problem was, bushings or whatever, I dragged the brakes while still on throttle and going over di bumps. Noise gone. So I figured the problem is with brake pads.
Last weekend, i pulled the wheels and outer bearings. Re-packed and re-set the bearing lash by di book. Pulled and re-greased (using hi-temp brake grease) the back of the pads, calipers, pins, and springs where they contact. Slightly better but I think these old two-piece springs are just plain tired.
Heres a pic I found from 2007 that shows the type of hardware. I would like to get the one piece anti-clatter spring type. Anyone know who carries them. Centerline used to, but no longer. IAP either.
