Bryanj:
Ah, never thought of that as a screw as never seen one removed, as well as the piston piece you are missing there should be a nylon spacer between pad and piston

Ah I don't have that either. Ordered the pad seat from DSS now. Can't see it on the parts diagram, is it something I can make up?

Bryanj:
Used to come with the pads, somebody tried to tell me it was to try and stop brake squeal but i have my doubts, many bikes went without it back in the 70's due to cost of O.E. and not being in with pattern ones

honda-san:
That nylon spacer is only used on the 350 - 400 - 500/4's which have a solid caliper piston surely?

The CB750 (up to K6 at least) should as pointed out have the (missing) seat pad which fits in the end of the hollow caliper piston. At least that's how my fours have been configured these last forty years.

Bryanj:
The smaller fours have hollow pistons with a crimped in disc Chris, its a long time since a did a 750 caliper job so happy to be wrong, always thought the allen bolts through the wheel was not one of Mr Hondas best ideas
