It is the metal plate on the pad #10. It has 2 holes that fit on the pegs of the pad

Wondering how the metal plate came loose from the pad.
Thinking that the metal plate is supposed to be a permanent part of the pad.
And uncertain as to advisability of trying to fab up something to suffice for a missing part of the pad, or whether this would be a safe practice.
As braking is pretty important, would in case of doubt spring for a new pad.

Of course the reason for the pad is to minimize brake squeel. If you brake and don't have problems with excessive noise then no need for the pad.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

If it's the piece pictured below it is .0016" thick. If you need one I can mail you the one in the pic. Just PM me the address I should send it to. Ed

Haven't seen any more postings. Did the shims kill the squeal? Ed
