[Fot] Brake pads don't fit

[davehogye]

Hello friends, 
I've been driving my TR3 on the street with Hawk blue pads and have put over 500 miles on them now. They make a mess of dust all over and they've been squealing like crazy driving around town between stops sometimes. I ordered a set of performance street pads from Moss and the outside pad will not fit in the caliper. It's obvious that the rotor is not centered in the caliper, but the Hawk pads went in no problem, so I hadn't noticed the offset until trying to fit other pads. I got another set of street pads, thinking the Moss pads where fat and same problem. 
I have TR3 uprights, TR4A-TR6 caliper carriers and new, not remanufactured, calipers from BPNorthwest and new aluminum hubs. I called BPN thinking the caliper might be the problem and they have had no other calls on this. Perhaps the hub dimensions are off. I guess I'll have to shave the outside pads to fit them, but has anyone else come across this issue. I'll be measuring things and hopefully find out what's going on, but it looks like at least .050" will have to come off the pad. 


Thanks, 
Dave
