Thanks, Randall. Didn't think they needed to be replaced as they were new
when I reconditioned the calipers. I'll try the aluminum pad and let the
list know.

As mentioned, a thin pad of aluminum between the pad & piston seems to work
well. I found some general-purpose ones at my FLAPS, that have an adhesive
back and cut to shape with scissors. In the Help! Section, I might have the
package somewhere if you need a part number.
Other things that might help are resurfacing the rotors with something like

or putting a bevel on the leading edge of the pads
Of course, I assume you've already tried replacing the pad hold-down
springs.
