Bought some new pads today just took them out the box and noticed the lugs not there on the bottom of the pad where you put the wear indicator on
Mintex mdb 1416 racing 1155 is this why
4 pots

 

I'm not sure they're supposed to be there on these pads, they are competition pads after-all, and the wear indicators are fixed to the pad, you can't remove them and refix them!!

Ron.

 

Understand what your saying but the lug is part of the pads steel base that the friction material is bonded to so yes your correct cannot be removed without cutting\grinding etc and to no advantage,The wear indicatir is actually a piece of spring steel that sits on this lug
The only thing i can think of is because theyre The 1155 material classed as racing ?

 

I know exactly what you were on about, but lets be honest, when did a racer ever wait to hear a little squel to change the pads?????

 

well i know what im thinking at mach 1 whats that me bums chewing me vest or tshirt lol
Its just the fact that they wer'nt there
Also did you know that the pads are actually for a nissan 300 just for the books lol
See my superbly done picture drawings

The subaru calipers are made by the same company that make them for Nissan!! just with a different name on them!!

 

RON see my pics 4 tins of stella later lol

 

Very artistic!! Almost certainly due to the pads being what they are!!

 

Thanks Ron
Off to bed now to dream up a new picture

totally normal - virtually no "competition" pad has these lugs fitted.........................from a competition point of view they are normally "shot" after around 1/3rds use..................
