Rattle, Rattle, Rattle. Alcons?

I thought I'd provide an update on this. I had a good look over my Alcons and couldn't find any play that would cause the type of noise I'm experiencing so I spent a further evening under the car with my rubber mallet, crowbar, and screwdriver, knocking and prying at everything I could think of.

And....

I 'think' I've tracked the noise down. It's coming from the inner pads on my rear brakes. They are just sitting loosely in the calipers and can quite easily rattle up and down. A quick Google shows that this is not such an uncommon event so I'm going to spend this evening pulling the rear calipers apart and seeing what the score with my pads are. I will report back.
