ABSTRACT:
In a disc brake a thrust transmitting device is interposed between a friction pad assembly and a piston for applying the friction pad assembly to a rotatable disc. The device comprises a shim of which a part is cut-out over a portion of what would otherwise be the area of contact between the piston and the friction pad assembly so that thrust is applied to the friction pad assembly only over the remainder of that area, and the device includes a projection defining a stop to prevent insertion of the shim into the brake with the pad assembly in position, the axial length of the thrust transmitting device being less than the thickness of the pad assembly minus the wear thickness thereof.
