Working as workshop foreman at a BL dealer in the UK in the '80's, all the
mechanics used a product called 'Coppaslip' on the back of the pads to keep
things quiet. I haven't found it here in North America, but there must be
an equivalent. My understanding is that a bit of grease, as previously
suggested, works great, but the copper- based alternative will last longer.
Then again, we'd spray WD-40 on an alternator belt when a customer was
complaining of fanbelt noise on their Austin Metro....perhaps my advice isn't
that valuable after all.
