ABSTRACT:
Brake shoes for a disc brake assembly are held radially inward against ledge areas in a caliper and its support plate by plates bolted to the caliper. The plates extend axially and include first bolt receiving lateral portions and second brake shoe hold down portions which are angularly related. The angle is greater than a corresponding angle between the outer surfaces of the brake shoes and the bolt receiving surface in the caliper so that the brake shoes are pressed downward against the ledge as the bolts are tightened. One retention plate has an additional angularly related portion which urges the brake shoes in the direction of normal rotation of the disc.
