Not sure what you are seeing. The only thing that limits how far they go is the fact that the cam arm will only allow so much travel. When the brakes get warn so far, you run out of adjustment and typically the cam arm will not return well on it's own.
Yes, you can drill the rivets and bond new brake lining on the backing base plate. |
Mine has tube (sleeves?) between the 2 pads that the bolts go through. The pad return spring is on the outside of the tube? It is of length to prevent worn pads from coming close enough together for the rivets to wear into the rotor?? I took the tubes out on one side so the caliper is un-restrained, but now the caliper jiggles around a lot on the bolts. I'll drill the rivets out and get started!
