Im looking for a little bit of help,

Does anybody know if it would be ok to trim some of the pad down to fit a smaller disk?

to explain, the brake pad braking surface from the inner to the outer diameter is approx. 60mm, the disc in question is only 55mm, so there would be 5mm of over-hang of the pad over the outside diameter of the disc.

So, would it be safe to simply trim the 5mm excess off the pad?

If you can understand that, please reply as its nearly complete and before i finish the machining i would like to know it would be safe?

Thanks in advance

Craig
