Wilwood Rear Brake Clatter

Anybody have any ideas on how to secure the cotterpins for the rear wilwood dynalite calipers so they don't clatter over every little bump? I was thinking about drilling out the holes and securing the pads with a long and thin nut/bolt.

i know this doesnt answer your question or anything and i am not by ny means tring to take over your thread but i am going to be up-grading my brakes soon. and i dont know many people with the wilwood setup. so i am asking you. what do you think of them. have you had any problems with the fact that dthey dont have any dust shields. have you had any other problems besides the one mentioned in this thread about the brakes and how long have you had them.

I've had the brakes on the rear for about 12,000 miles and on the front for about 7,000 miles. I've had no problems with them at all. I just try to keep them clean. They make a HUGE difference in stopping power and fade resistance. Currently, I have the 'E' compound pad on the rear and the 'D' compound pad on the front. Both are very noisy and dusty, the 'E' more so. I'm going to try their 'Q' pad next and see just how quiet and dustless they are, and whether they lose any stopping power. It will be a while yet though, I still have plenty of pad left.

Hope this helps.
