85 FB Clacking sound from rear wheel area.

Hello, I have a 1985 FB and I have been hearing some clacking sound that is coming from the rear left side of the car. The sound speeds up with the car and slows as well. If I pull the emergency brake half way up it seems to quiet down. I have also check brakes and calipers but nothing seems loose. Any feedback would be nice, thanks.

Sounds like the rear brake pads moving around. If the little springy things around the rear pads are not installed, the pads can move and they clack against the support bracket. I have that with the race car pretty frequently. Not a problem, just a bit annoying driving around the paddock
