So I just put new tires on my 78 and now the big piece of my front brake attached to the caliper is somewhat loose and rattles every time I hit a bump.. It did not do this before I put on the tires and it doesn't sound so good when I'm going down the road... kind of makes me nervous... All the nuts and bolts are as tight as they can be so I don't know what the problem could be.. Any ideas?

The whole caliper is loose? Can you be more specific? I wouldn't ride it till you fingure it out......could lead to a super-stoppie/no footed superman combo

did you put the screw back in that goes through the pads from the wheel side?
