Doing my 7th condition inspection on my -8A. Replace the brake pads every year. Right brake showed normal wear and assembly - however, I discovered I had riveted the left brake pads backwards with the shop end facing the brake disc. No harm since the pads still extended above the rivet and no metal-to-metal contact was yet made.
However, I am still in a quandary as to how I could have been so stupid as to make such an obvious mistake - on both pad assemblies! Guess I can chalk it up to unobserved cranial rectumitis.
I pride myself in the attention to detail I utilize in the condition inspection - if it can happen to me, it may happen to you.
