squeal plates so you know when its time to change the pads

I'm on about those wing like things at the top on the pic. They stick out through the back of the caliper.

ah, anti rattle clips.

It's a spring clip. As said they prevent them rattling

[dantheram]

Cool, thanks guys.

do both 'arms' need to be sticking out of the caliper, through that little gap?

sorry for being a total noob

thanks,

Dan

No - The caliper pushes against them to keep them in the carrier

If they are going through the hole, they are fitted incorrectly.
