    **SORTED** PFL VR-4 Front Brake Carrier Shim

    Hi all,

    Brakes started squealing a little today, and upon investigation, one of the metal shims that sit into the carriers and the pads slide in has broken or worn away one of the little containing lugs, and as the brakes are depressed, this shim is moving, and just touching the disc slightly.

    I've made it a little more secure, but don't know either whether it'll work, or how long it'll last!

    So - I'm after a single one of the little "C" shaped metal shims, please!
