Can someone tell me what the anti rattle springs are on an AP racing brake caliper please?

Thanks.

How do you mean?
What do they do? or what do they look like? or part number? or...

They are the flat spring plates on the front, held in by 2 pins and have directional arrows cut into them.

I've found a pic.

Ahh - THAT big metal piece

Thanks

If yours are duff or not there, you can get them from AP, for a set of two and four new pins its about £15 inc delivery

Xpart only supply caliper pins and springs for AP calipers in a kit that includes pads costing around £132, Total Kit includes 4 pad pins, 4 pads, 2 springs
Part no. SFP00170

AP Racing who supplied MG with the calipers, supplied there caliper part no. CP7601 4 pot caliper

The same caliper spring, pin and pad kit can be bought from them
part no. CP7601-52
price unkown but a lot cheaper than Xpart

individual parts in the kit:

Pads, Jurid J612 as per OE, 4 of

Pins, CP7600-109, 4 of ....(can be bought separate @ £1.28 + vat each)

Pad springs, CP7600-122, 2 of ....(can be bought separate @ £2.57 + vat each)

Thanks for that - I now know which way to put the springs in

Only other question is how do I tell left from right?

Does the arrow point in the direction the wheel spins, or is it not that obvious?

Yep, direction of rotation!
