Every time I've had various A&P's replace my brake pads, they've had to order "special" rivets, because "standard" rivets are too short to use with my backing plates and pads. My backing plates are standard, as received from Lancair with my 1992 kit. I've always ordered the linings from Lancair. Last week I ordered a new "relining" kit from Lancair (includes pads and rivets). These rivets are the same length as those stocked by my A&P, and are TOO short. What gives? Do I have some special, extra thick, backing plate? Did Vern accidently send me the wrong rivets? Am I the only one having this "problem". I've got a call in to Vern, but wanted others' thoughts on the matter (please don't tell me to switch brakes/calipers/rotors... I'm happy with the performance I've got). Thank you, Matt
