Has anyone else had this problem?
Yesterday Iput new Early rotors in my rebuilt early calipers and Porterfield R4-S pads on the front of the Red Neck Racer. Damn pads were too thick to fit the frame let alone between piston and rotor. Ended up in the driveway with a belt sander making a hell of a mess. Kept the pad square going a little bit at a time. Got them to just slide in without forcing Yes the pistons were completely pushed back. Drove to work this morning after some good bedding in last night. all is good Just wonder if when you order these pads the same part number fits early / late 914 and 911 M caliper. |
