    Default New brake pads

    Hey guys I recently put new brake pads in the rear of the VY. After I'd finished I noticed that one pad on each side of the old (factory ones) had a small half moon cutaway in the rear of the backing plate where the piston contacts.
    Now I didn't check if the replacement Bendix pads had this cutaway area or not as I didn't notice until the job was finished.
    So I'm after a firm answer please as I don't want to pull them out and check.
    Do Bendix have one pad each side with this?

    Thanks for help. It is the pad that the piston pushes against.

    Ok thanks for the quick reply. Wondering why the factory ones had this 'cutaway' section anyway?
