leonk Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Does anyone know which way up these should go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 No ideas? Perhaps a call to Apec then. Just don't want to put them in upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 O.k, so been on to Apec and what a helpful tech department. Just in case else comes across this, the idea of the tapered shim is to distribute less pressure on the leading edge of the pad so as to reduce noise. So the correct fitment would be with the thinner part of the backing shim to the top of the front caliper. i.e the leading edge of the pad. As regards the wear indicators, ( metal riveted on bits) they can go either inside or outer side. My search of posts on here has suggested that inside is better as the 350 tends to wear out the inner pads first. Hope this is of some help to others using these or other pads. Edit.... So in my picture above, for the front right caliper, these would actually be the WRONG way up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
