Abstract
A brake shoe for disc brakes comprises a pad back plate which, on a first face thereof, is provided with a friction pad and, on a second face thereof, has a projection to which a retaining spring is fixed to prevent rotation of the retaining spring relative to the pad back plate. The projection extends through a non-circular opening in the retaining spring and comes into intimate contact with the opening when deformed radially by the application of an axial force to the projection to produce a form-lock which prevents the retaining spring from rotating relative to the pad back plate.
