So I understand there supposed to be some trimming of the rear pads on the bottom potion.
When I mock up the pad I've already milled on, it looks like I need to go another .100" to .125" more. Did I mess up the install? Top pad is modified, bottom stock.  |

Yes, the pads need to be trimmed at the bottom to fit properly.
It wasn't bad to do. If you need measurements/pics let me know and I'll get them for you tmrw. |

Thanks, got them installed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) roblav1, yes I noticed once I made those 2 flats almost even with the top of the radius the pads fit, still lots of pad material and area left. |
