400/4 Front Brake

Deano400:
Help needed again.
My brother and I have both got 400/4s. When the front brake pad is removed from the piston side, one 400 has a square section nylon? ring sat between the piston and pad, the other 400 doesn't. I can't find any reference to this part. Should it be there or not? Can anyone enlighten me please? TIA.

Yes.
Some pad suppliers include it.
Not sure what it does.

It's an attempt to reduce brake squeal!

Well...it doesn't seem to help!  :o

I was going to tackle this job lunchtime but the sky is leaking badly so I took the car.  I'm going to wrap PTFE tape round the edge of the pad.  I'll report back when I've done it.
Bloody brake sounds like a pig in agony.  I don't like using it.
