Brake pads don't fit

<< < (2/3) > >>

Norniron:
Can u post some pics stuart.
Trigger mentioned the pivot arm,is it inline with the disc before fitting the pads?

paul G:
Stuart,
             I had exactly the same issues with the pads from DSS.
I ended up getting some 400 grit wet and dry placing it on a flat surface and keeping the pad square rubbing it up and down to take some of the material off the moving pad  :(

mike the bike:
I think he means 'too thick'    Sorry,  just a pet hate of mine

Johnwebley:
fair do's to DSS,

  I fitted a couple of sets of his disc pads,and no probs,they fitted in the calipers perfectly,

 other I have used before required the paint to be filed off before they would fit,

Trigger:

I've also fitted it without the spring loaded adjuster bolt to ensure it isn't that. It really does appear that the pads are just to thick?

I take it that it is a repro caliper.  As Paul said, he had trouble with the ones he bought from DSS so i would go that way. Never bought bake pads from DSS so, can't comment.
