Anti rattle springs
« on: December 22, 2017 - 10:01:29 AM »
I was watching Graveyard Cars show and Mark was putting anti rattle springs on a disc brake setup for a 1970 Cuda. I don't have the springs on my 73 Cuda and have never seen anything written about them. Any pictures or information would be appreciated. Thanks

Anything like this?  Easy to find 15-20 years ago... Today? Good Luck...  Someone might repo it but not that I've heard of....

For that price, I'd run without them or use a brake shoe hold down spring

I agree about the price. I really don't need them as I don't have any brake noise issues. That show was the first I'd heard anything about them. Those look different than the ones Worman was putting on the 1970 Cuda on the show. It was a 440 six pack car. Did they have the same size calipers as the small block cars?

My brake hardware kit from Rock Auto included them. 

I wasn't sure how to install them, and found photos showing two different ways.  I went with the one that made sense to me.

It's nice that they are available but ouch.... I think I paid $3 for each of the kits I bought which include enough parts for one caliper... Four bushings, two anti rattle springs & one pad retainer spring...

I'd probably bite the bullet for $35 and be done with it. The price stings but you would never have to buy them again. I can take my wife and kid out for fast food and spend close to that.
