Hi
I am hoping someone can give me some advice... my 1989 YB6 Exup front discs are so rattly, I would like to take some of the play out of them and wondered if anyone had re-conditioned them.... pins rattle and really find it un-nerving.... I am assured by my MOT centre the disc's are fine and thats how they are.... I seem to think I have read something on this or another forum that they can be shimmed or something.... advice please guys.... Thanks

It's probably the spring clips on the inside of the bobbins. I sent mine to Stealth Engineering, it was a while back but it cost about £50 including return post.
You could also try Mode Performance at Silverstone - they're a Brembo main dealer.

Thanks for that... I have read somewhere where someone has replaced the pins, or shimmed things , but sending them to a specialist sounds better... I will see if I can make contact.. Thanks for your help....

Yes, you see the washers in the first picture ? They're the spring washers that get flat, they're the parts you need to replace.
