(the caliper is fitted the right way up bleed nipple at the top ) you will see that the ferodo original pad and the pad that came with caliper does not reach the inner part of the disc surface, how ever when i fitted the new pad to the old caliper it fitted perfectly ! not sure if this would be an issue as the pad has full contact with disc. i guess the disc would have a inner unworn lip over time, but as disc are cheap i'm thinking having to change the pads and discs would not cost the earth.
