I have bought a Gas Gas EC 300 year 2000 and am in the process of getting it back a fit for use. I am new to mechanics and need help with the rear brake that i have just serviced. There are two thin metal plates. Each a different shape, that somehow sit on the bake of the brake pads. I cant see how they should be refitted in order to replace the pads. Can someone help explain / send a picture or tell me where i can get hold of a workshop type manual that would have a diagram to assist. Any help for a newbie would be much appreciated. ta. Also are there any Gas Gas riders in the surrey / sussex / hants area that would like to meet for green laning. ??

Your best bet is probably to contact your local dealer, who should be able to help you. This forum is generally devoted to Trials models. Usually the thin, stainless steel plates are backing for the pads as a brake puck heat shield/anti-vibration measure.
