Hi folks New to these bikes... and not seen anything like this caliper before
81 250LC
Front caliper clucks over bumps in the road Checking the caliper shows it actually pivots on a pin.. and a couple of shims where the two parts rest together I see elsewhere o the net, there's supposed to be a spring in there, I guess to take up tension and stop the clunk, so perhaps mine is missing - I haven't got that far yet
But I wonder why the caliper is designed like this...never seen anything like nit on other bikes or cars Thoughts?

Well that's Elsie back on the road... eventually received the shim.material fro..ebay seller, who advertises as uk, but is actually Chinese
Anyhoo... 0.5mm shim between caliper and mount and everything is golden
Happy days
