Thanks for the info Jim and Dave. I think I need to check which way I fitted
them as the old pads were unevenly worn and I copied that orientation. I'm
still not sure I understand the reason for the cutouts, but I'm fairly sure
now that I have the right calipers and pads- just much easier to fit than
I'm used to.
