Squealing Brakes

Morning All. I'm having trouble stopping the (standard) front brakes squealing on my 1965 S1 coupe. It started last year when they got hot. I had new pads fitted - no better, I then had new discs - no better, the edge of the pads were chamfered - no better, Green Stuff pads were tried - a bit better, but when the brakes get hot they start to squeal again. I know a lot of people fit Coopercraft 4-pot brakes, but mine worked perfectly well before and in any case I'm keen to keep it standard. Any help would be much appreciated. Ta!

Do you have anti squeak shims fitted? Alternative is to use Copper-Ease between piston and pad.

Not sure about anti squeak shims being fitted but copper-ease has been used. I think some kind of special backing tape has been used.
