Are they pinched against the boot to secure it ?
The theory is that the fingers grab the flange that projects from the caliper body. I think the ATE ones are just a shade small for reasonably simple installation. What is strange is ATE is the manufacturer of the caliper in the first place. Like I said in an earlier post when I purchased rebuild kits from our host last summer and they provided ATE all around.....sounds like they've responded to complaints and changed the rears to FTE. Cheers
