Looking for rear brake pad information

I've posted the following on UKGSer. I thought I'd try here too. |

From my notes, the pad thickness on the OEM rear brakes is 4mm. (not including the backing plate)

I'm pretty sure that I now realise what caused all my woes in relation to my rear pad replacement 4,000 miles ago. |

Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #3 It's been a journey ... So would you summarise/confirm please. If the pad and backing plate size is correct (7.7mm) should the spacer always be used? |

Zitat von Ray im Beitrag #5Zitat von Sanemancured im Beitrag #3 A good question Ray. One well respected Tech would say yes, another mechanic of unknown talents says no. I'd check the replacement pads are no more than 7.7mm, fit the plate and monitor carefully. Any binding whatsoever, I'd try removing the plate. Oh and my new disc looks very nice. No heat needed to remove the bolts that weren't at all tight. Peter |

My new Brembo pads are 8mm overall.
Carpe Diem!

Zitat von Boxerboy55 im Beitrag #7 Wow! This continues to confuse. The previous conclusion in this thread, although not definitive, was that if the pad and backing plate was no more than 7.7mm then use the spacer/shim. But maybe not ... Boxerboy55's new pads were 8mm so he concluded the spacer was not required. |
