I find they only go in one way. If the stock MGA pads aren't handed I would
be suspicious that the V8 pads are not good to use. Dunno about 'left' and
'right' pads, more like 'inner' and 'outer'. A pair of pads for the RHS is
identical to a pair for the LHS. I have a set of Unipart (GBP242) which I
have photographed showing the 'handedness' and how the anti-squeal shims are
attached. Two of the pads are stamped with 'FER2449FGG453' and two with
'FER2449FGG462'. The latter two have a white paint mark on the pad material
adjacent o the straight edge of the backing plate. You can see the picture
