As many others have stated, the rear brakes on the Champion are very weak at best. (VW parts) Step on the rear brake and you can kinda feel it trying to slow you down but not much more than that. So, I bought the new Yellow Stuff DP4105R that every one says is the replacement for the stock pads on my Champion Trike kit. However, they are a different shape between the pin holes. As you can see, the "cutout" between the hols is much deeper.
Here is a view of the new on top of the old.
That cutout is where the anti-rattle clip fastens to the pad. Since the cutout is deeper the clip will not work. I've been in contact with EBC (who have been very attentive) and they can not come up with an answer.
Has anyone else had this problem? What is the fix? Are there other clips that can be used? Are the clips really needed? Any suggestions will help.
Thanks
