Brake pad size?

[s car go]

I saw a post on here a little while ago concerning brake pad size.
I fitted up my new disks and pads last night and the new pads are hanging outside of the discs by about 5 mm?
Is this correct or have I got the wrong pads?
Ordered the disk and pad kit from Roughtrax!

Technically no, but they are only ones you'll get without doing lots of research and badgering of parts suppliers, or going to the main dealer.

I wouldn't worry worry about it to much on a normally used day to day truck.

they will be ok Mark.I have had pads the same in the past.
THe parts you need sending over are
Sunroof complete
load cover
indicator
Is there anything else thats needed before you pay so i can get it to my cousin tonight ready for them to load up.I'll send that caliper bolt off aswell Deb's said about unless you want it put in with the other bits.You'll probably get it quicker that way then wait for royal mail

Thanks Tony
Strange though,it almost seems that the metal back, that the friction material is stuck to, is too small,in fact thats exactly the problem.The brakes have been pretty poor on this truck since I got it,and i'm looking for a significant improvment.I should get that anyway as the old disks were in a terrible state,but to my way of thinking friction material not touchung the disk is not helping the cause!! I may just get a set of genuine pads if thats the answear.
