Ok, so if I am reasonably sure I have Teves/funky 1/3dia-recessed-area pistons in my calipers; and am definitely missing anything resembling a "noise-dampening plate"; and the squeaking is driving me (more?) batty-- Can the dampening plates be obtained separately (at this point I'm happy to be dealer-gouged to stop the consistent super-mouse-squeak as nothing else has worked), or are they standard with dealer/List vendor/OEM (whatever brand that may be) brakepads?? The pads on there have plenty of life, but I'll replace them in 2 shakes of a squeaky mouse's whiskers if it keeps them quiet (the pads, not the mice). Cheers, Mike
