AP Calipers - brake pad rattle - solutions?

Postby Kwakked Up » Sun Jul 10, 2016 3:28 pm

Fitted a set of 2 piston AP Calipers (CP2696) to the old Z1000 recently and love the way they pull up. What drives me nuts is the pads clicking and rattling around. I don't suppose anyone knows if there is an anti rattle clip that might fit these jiggers. AP don't make them and have been unable to find anything useful on Dr Google.

Dont know if this will help CRC disc brake quiet ,really designed for noisy or squeaky brakes .It is like a light paste that u put on the back of the pads that reduces vibrations.Not really for what you want but it wont hurt and it may help
