Keep your disc brakes seated, quiet, and rattle-free with the Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Hardware Kit 340-16002 (also written 34016002). This kit supplies the clips, springs, and abutment hardware that locate the pads and manage their movement, and it is cataloged for both FRONT and REAR disc brake applications across a range of classic European models — including the 1971-1974 BMW 3.0S, 1969-1974 Alfa Romeo Spider, 1963 Porsche 356B, 1969-1974 Saab 99, and 1965-1971 Volkswagen Sedan. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 29 applications and the correct engine details.
Fresh hardware is good practice whenever you replace disc brake pads — worn or corroded clips and springs can let pads bind or rattle. Fitting this kit restores the intended pad retention and slide for the listed applications.
