yeah I had a look today...
The discs are new and 260mm. The pad looks a bit dodgy and worn down...I
think it was because the pad was nearly at the end of its life and had
pushed a little bit of material out past the edge...I will buy some new pads
and check them out...hopefully they will be better...(fingers crossed). I
can always modifiy the mount..but dont really want to....
I'll sort it out....;)
Chris.
