Porterfield pads, too big to fit in caliper Options

[Joe Ricard]

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.

Let me speak MS:

If'n them there later pads be the thickest, then themz are the onez yuz had ta sand so... them be the thickest (kinda like a sertin bone above yur sholderz).

In'f yu mean themz was still thickerer then themz early pads once yuz was done widdlen on'em, then I'm-a fix'n ta understand ya.

Still (not the kind ya make shine from (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)) yuz bought the rong pads (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Make sense?
