Reply to "Rebuilding stock front calipers"

Question for users of PORTERFIELD AP63 RS4 compound pads....front calipers...

My new pads seem to be missing a guide hole for the caliper pin.

Do I remove the pins, or drill a hole?

Seems that without the pin, the pads would be allowed to move up and down about 1/4" or so, putting the pads off center of the pistons...something which I believe to be not so good....

Any feedback appreciated? I've also pinged Porterfield.....

(One of the new pad backing plates appears to have a punch prick right where the new hole would go.....odd.... or planned?)

Thanks in advance!
