good to hear Brendan those two numbers aren't spread around enough some times

riding will do the heart good ;)

iv'e been clean of all drugs about 9 years and also wouldn't look back

Do the "anti-squeal" plates on the back of brake pads perform any real task or can I rip them out? All they do is squeal, I've applied some anti-squeal gummy paste to them but that only lasted a couple of months.

Yes, you NEED the anti-squeal plates. And you need to slather them with anti-squeal goo - not just a little bit. Buy the good stuff too - the really sticky orange stuff is usually the best.

CRC Disc Brake Quiet is what I have - bright redish, used a whole bottle per axle and coated every surface between the rear of the pad and pistons. Guess I'll just re-apply and hope it keeps working this time.

try chamfering the edges of the pad slightly, new pads with old rotors, or old pads with new rotors have a tendency to squeal. make sure all of your slides are lubed too, just in case they are sticking, causing the pads to stay in contact.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
