Vehicle disc brakes

An hydraulically operated disc brake for a vehicle, comprising a rotatable disc, a stationary drag-taking part located against one face of said disc, a caliper straddling a portion of the peripheral edge of said disc, first and second circumferentially spaced guide means carried on said drag-taking part and adapted to guide said caliper for sliding movement in a direction generally parallel to the axis of said disc, friction pad assemblies for engagement with opposite faces of said disc located in said caliper, and actuating means for applying one of said friction pad assemblis directly to said disc and for causing said caliper to slide relative to said drag-taking part to apply the other of said friction pad assemblies indirectly to the opposite face of said disc, each of said guide means comprising guide member, said guide member being provided with a circular bore, a peg member working in said bore, one of said members being secured to said drag-taking part and the other to said caliper, a resilient moulded bush having an inner elongate bore being located in one of said bores, only the first of said peg members sliding in an elongate bore with some free play along a line extending perpendicularly between the axes of said two peg members, said first peg member being a substantially tight fit in said bush in a direction perpendicular to said line.
