Lobo:
Thanks OddJob... will pm you. These darn washers getting a bit rare it seems....

Seamus:
can you not measure the float with a feeler gauge and buy a bit of shim stock to make one?

Lobo:
Hi Seamus.... guess that's a 'Plan B' as I'm happy to spend £3 on the washers if I can get them.

Lobo:
Thanks OddJob...fingers crossed.

My first post here. It took me some time to isolate the clunk, but once I had decided it was the caliper assembly bouncing due to too much play (really evident crossing railroad tracks) I went to my local hardware store and bought a few small sheets of brass stock in a couple of different thicknesses. It was thin enough to cut with scissors, though I don't recommend using your wife's good sewing shears  ;). After that it was just a matter of punching a suitably sized hole in the middle and installing it. No clunks since.
