After reassembly, I found that 1/8 inch wasn’t thick enough. The cam was traveling almost all the way forward and wasn’t releasing. I found I needed ¼ inch pads after I placed some of the material I cut off the pads into the calipers. The cam hardly moved forward before the brakes were applied. I glued another 1/8 pad inch on top. I purchased more jig saw blades from Harbor Freight. These gave a nice smooth cut. One blade cut 3 ½ pads before it broke. I used WD-40 instead of PB Blaster to lube the jig saw blades while cutting. WD-40 worked better than PB Blaster. They’re not pretty, but they work. First 3 pics are 1/8 inch pads, next 3 pics are 1/4 inch pads. I double checked my clutch alignment before adjusting the brakes. 6th pic is 1/4 inch pads with the brakes applied.
