Just put a new set of calipers, disks, hoses and pads on our 73 Sonett III. The right front has a scraping/squealing light metal on metal sound. Kind of like an old wear limit tab on early disc brakes.
I’m wondering if the Pad springs and cotter pins are in the right way or maybe they should be opposite of each other? My son and I installed the left side and the right side the spring oriented the same: two skinny slots up and the wider slot on the bottom. But the calipers aren’t perfect mirror images and look more like they’re the same casting but flipped over and pinned differently for the right side from the left.
Otherwise the brakes work great.
