Very annoying rattle after fitting the valver rear beam!

[AmDaMan]

Right I fitted the 16v rear beam in place of my 1.4 drums yesterday, all is fine apart from this constant rattle while moving. I've tied all the handbrake cables up, checked things are tight etc but it still remains.

It goes when I brake and if I pull the handbrake up while moving. My handbrake is pretty slack, could this be the cause? There is a sound clip below.

could be the anti rattle clips if they are missing, just make sure your pads are secure as you dont want them to fall out. tighten the handbrake up too mate, see if it goes away

looking at your pics you don't have the anti-rattle springs on the pads mate ;)

[AmDaMan]

ahh right cheers you 2, can you post a pic? They didn't come with the new pads, they might be laying around somewhere

*looks down pants* yes I have some of those, ha ha.

Ahh I know what ya mean, is there 1 on each pad or just 1 on 1 pair of pads? Can you put them on while the pads are still in the caliper?

[Justin..]

only goes on one pad. the one thats not screwed on

Can you put them on while the pads are still in the caliper?
