My DIY learning with car servicing continues....
I have a few threads about a few different issues while leaning how to do things on this ford KA.
The next thing is the front brakes. Thanks to a really good ford deal I ordered some OEM pads and discs for much cheaper then OEM equivalents at any of the usual stores.
They arrived today and I was slightly miffed how the pads were packaged, but....having not ordered parts like this before, I was not sure what to expect in terms of packaging.
They came in a box like this, I assumed they would all be packaged a bit more cushioned and protected....but no.
My only concern is that some of the edges looked, perhaps, slightly chipped.

You can see here the bottom edge of the lower pad seems like it has a bit of a edge chip.
A few other pictures, but the one above shows the issue best I think.


My guess is that they are fine, as long as the main pad surface is not damaged. Thought I'd check though.
