Front disc bobbin wear?

Hi, not too clued up on floating front disc on my Sport but two of the bobbins on opposite sides of the disc are quite a sloppy fit. All the others are a tight fit, there's no side play or up and down play on it and it does not chatter on braking.....question is :?: with only 1500 miles on it, is this worn already or a potential hazard to my ancient bones? Would I be better replacing it?

A hydraulic press can be used to `tighten` the loose bobbins, there`s no need to replace it unless it`s either warped or below it`s minimum thickness. :wink:

Thanks its like new - just got those two loose bobbins on it. Must be iffy tolerances on the production line :roll: . I'll keep a eye on it for more wear, cheers :smt023
