Hi All

I'm in the process of refurb'ing my handbrake etc and generally cleaning the bits up. After cleaning the first rear disk (original), I noticed that 4 of the vents have what appear to be heavy-gauge (gage) wire staples tight inside.

My gut feeling is that these are for disk balancing during production; however, my other experience of disk balancing is based on grinding the disk edge or drilling the edge.

Anyone out there seen this before?

 

Bump. Anyone?

 

Those are balancing weights.

 

I am sure it's an anti-squeek damper

 

Balance weights, the use these when they cannot remove enough material from the opposite side to balance, so they add....

 

Thanks guys, that's just what I wanted to hear.
