s2hotdog Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 As it says I have some replacement pads that are chamfered off to one side just wondering which way to install both chamfered edges to front or back or a mixture inner back and outer front etc or is it not really an issue and of no consequence which way round Any opinions?

Tonk Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 i always put the chamfer to the back, probably wrong knowing my luck, but they work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 It's sort of hard to explain, but the chamfer should be at the 'entry point' of the disk, ie as the disk turns it 'enters' the pads at the chamfered end. The chamfer is supposedly to stop squealing / vibration of the pads. Well, that's the theory anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 guess i fit them the right way round then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
