I'm getting a scrapping sound from the rear brakes... 200 1980

Do you have new spring loaded brass clips? The part that holds the top of the brake pads in place. That brass piece can somtimes rub on the outer ring of the rotor and generate a scraping sound. since you have new rotors I would be willing to bet that everything hasnt exactly lined up and they are still adjusting to each other. after time, everything will wear down and not be an issue. For now, check the top of the rotor (non brake pad surface) and see if there is freshly ground markings and/or a worn out section on that brass clip.

Also make sure that all the pins for the pads are in place and solidly rigid. They can slip out of place and create a metal on metal sound because the loose parts are rattling and vibrating on top of eachother.

Good Luck
