On each side of my 70's Universal Mod 125's there's a large rubber-covered v-shaped, bent piece of metal between the pad and the callipers as shown. What is it, what does it do and is it part of the adjustment process?
Potentially related, do these callipers take the usual type of pads you'd see on a modern road bike? I note that they are visually quite different.

Thanks as always
