No, you got those little bars across there, the pins.  Most american car disc 
pads come with a tube of lube for the brake caliper parts to lube.  I have had 
Ghia brakes go squeaky squeaky when not lubed.  Don't have any experience with 
discs on a bus.  You see the splitties didn't come with disc brakes.

Brake lube ? what is that ? the only moving part is the disc – do you coat the 
disc or pad with it?

Did you lubriucate the moving parts with brake lube when you put the first ones 
together?  This prevents squeaks.

I put new “German” pads on the front of NewDee and after 1000 miles they 
squeaked and squeaked – driving the wife nuts (I’d tap on the brakes and try to 
play a melody) anyway I finally pulled them off and put new another set of new 
German pads- no more squeal – go figure.
