hey all, I recently changed my old mans 62 p1800 front brakes over to the 65 models with new rotors calipers/caliper bracket/dust shield etc. everything fits up fine. apart from when I went to fit the brake pads, my father purchased them about 10 years ago and had never been used, they line up with the holes, although one pad on each of the calipers is to wide and I would basically have to hammer it in place and have 0 clearance. are there any differences in brake pads from the early jensens to the p1800s? the pads would fit a treat if they were machined down a tad(they are 16mm thick). I'm just wondering if they are not suited. or they are correct and I may have assembled the brakes incorrectly.

also if I were to purchase suitable pads. any recommendations for a good street pad?

cheers
