I tried bending the retaining spring in the bridge to hold the pads in place but it hasn't solved it.
Any adjustment to be made to the calipers to solve this??

I've had this problem a couple of times with my Alcons ...
.
after changing pads, but every time the rattling stopped within a couple of weeks when the pads settled in. The occurence was random with the Alcon's, something the left caliper, sometimes the right, sometimes neither.

Try something like this.....
It leaves a very thin layer of rubbery like substance that goes between the piston and pad backing plate. Available at your local autoparts store.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autobarn.net/ch05016.html">http://www.autobarn.net/ch05016.html</a</li></ul>

My fix--
My Alcon B's rattle like crazy up front with the track pads in. I called Alcon and they sent me some small kick-back springs that put a little pressure on the pads. With my street pads back in, no rattle at all. With the track pads (Pagid Orange) I get some rattling but the springs help mitigate it a little.
