too bad they're ATE (Teves?). I can't seem to find new damping plates anywhere
for mine.
Point is, don't lose those plates if you still have them!

If you don't have those plates,..... have you noticed that your pads
wear at an angle?

I'd be tempted to get them rebuilt by an indy as per Stuarts suggestion.
The cores are pretty old by now. If I were to ever get my hands on an
original set of
Teves (how could one tell really?), I'd get those rebuilt. Or, find
Girling callipers, do same.
Grilling damping plates can still be had.
