Does anyone have the so called heavy duty mod for the Cleveland brakes and 66-108 pads? If so, what is the thickness of the shim added to make the "heavy duty" part of the system.

200 hours or so on pads seems slight. I have noticed that the inboard pads do not wear fully (around 50%) because the piston limits travel as it contacts the outboard caliper/pad bracket, if you will. Shimming the inboard pad would give more use, however there is the potential for the rivets to contact the disc.
