Brake pad shims
I've had a quick look but can't se this topic here.
I've got a project car that needed the caliper rebuilding. That's been done but there weren't any shims with the rest of the brake components.
Question is, do I need these parts or can I get away with just using grease. If they are needed where can I get them? Can't seem to find them online.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Brake pad shims
That's great, thank you! Do pad come with new pad support and springs? I've got the old ones, except I'm missing a couple of springs.
