how thick should front brake pads be?

Well i have never seen them on any car i have owned, so must not be a necessity.

All depends on how loose the housing is, I use them to stop any rattles, it also helps keep the pads in place..

Honestly Trev, why don't you go to another forum where your style is more appropriate. It seems that all you do is rub everyone up the wrong way here. I'm sure I'm speaking for many here that share the same sentiments.

Still salty after the Tigers destroyed you in 2017 grand finial. If people stop rubbing me up the wrong way first then I wouldn't have to defend myself.

don't you dare call me a Crows supporter !!! Richmond might be winners but you're a definite loser !

You are a person that seems to be very unloved and are thinking you can buy everyone's love here on this forum to make yourself feel better. All you are doing is getting everyone's hatred and believe me it's all for FREE !!

So like I mentioned previously bugger off and find yourself some friends as you don't seem to have any here.

Personal insults aren't great.. we all have our differences.

See the 2 anti rattle clips.

As shown, they are for VT to VZ....VB to VR are different

I'd still be careful, you never know with old stuff what might still be fitted.

Pretty sure, when a VR/VS came out, asbestos was out the door in brake pads.

Yes, old stuff you have to be careful with.....Spend years breathing in the stuff and still do to this day, every now and then when I get an old car in

Settle down. Personal insults will NOT be tolerated.

Any kind of dust is bad for the lungs. Avoid it wherever possible and wear a mask.

That's true. Some just kill you faster than others. Minerals, ceramics and metal are really bad because they stay in your lungs forever and slowly reduce your lung capacity. But rubbing brake pads on the ground doesn't fill the air with dust though. Tools like angle grinders, saws and Sanders are the worst for that.
Not to mention stupid people blowing **** around with the air compressor instead of cleaning up properly.
