Alright... I drove my 1973 911 targa home yesterday, it ran well and didn't seem to have any troubles. After I turn on to my road it starts making a sound from the right front which is about like what you would expect to hear if you had a flap come off of the tire and hitting the body. It speed up and slows down with the speed of the car and stops when the brakes are applied.

I'm thinking that something might have come loose in the caliper. I'll get it back to the shop and have them check it out next week, I wanted to see if some of y'all might have an idea what it could be.

Retaining pin worked loose?
Pad came unseated?
Something stuck in the backing plate?

Ideas? I haven't had a chance to really look at it yet.
