Brake pads

The new brake pads are here, but they don't fit.  I recall Eric telling me that he had to preform some grinding on his.  Sure enough, I saw what he was talking about, and now a perfect fit.
The old pad is in the front, the new one is in the back.  The 2 small tabs above the arrows needed to be ground down on the new pads.
I'm using paint on the brake rotors that melts at a certain heat range.  In this process, it leaves a history of maximum temperature achieved while on the track.  Each color is a different heat range.   This should help me set front to rear brake bias.
