Seems that this is not available anywhere now. It’s the metal shim plate that goes between the sliding caliper and mounting .Anybody know if it is available anywhere?

Might be worth asking Norbo, I know he does the pad anti rattle shims.

From memory doesn't the manual show a shim under the stainless plates with the return edges? I know mine didn't have anything under that plate.
By shim are we talking about the two parts with the small edges on or something under them?

Hi All, Have just joined your Forum. LC owner since 1989. I do have some background info on the 4L0 brake calipers. I'll try to post the info if someone can tell me how to attach a Word or .pdf document to a post!

What do these shims actually do? Are they a shim, spring or simply a cover to keep grit out?

I had the same issue: missing shim
...just cut a 0.5mm piece of shim to the right ship and installed... perfect... clunk has disappeared and caliper feels solid
£2 for a big sheet from ebay
