Yeah. I was grinding something in 1968 and ended up with steel in eye.
Ignored it for a day or so but finally off to doc. Told me it had rusted and I can still feel him picking the bits out
Had cataract surgery earlier this year and they showed me a pic of my eye with old scars easily seen.

I’d guess she’d take them down and put them on the garage wall next to an eye chart
Too soon Ron?

You could hang them up above the fireplace like those ceramic ducks from the 60s

The pads are here.
Fronts come with shims...
I did a quick search about the arrows on the shims:
"The arrows on the anti-noise shim of Brembo brake pads indicate the disc rotational direction, which means they should be taken into account when fitting the pads inside the caliper body. You need to make sure the arrow is pointing in exactly the same direction in which the wheels revolve when the vehicle is in motion."
