Pretty sure the scraper up or down doesn't matter, but I installed the pads as I found them, which was the scraper positioned at the top front of the caliper. Correct, scrapes when the pads need replacing.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with your caliper fit. Hopefully I don't have a do-over (yikes). I was on the shy side about filing because everything is already finished. and word was it they work as intended regardless. Don't quote me on that, from here I'm a novice.
Second instance I finish coated something only to find cast replacement parts aren't replacement parts until you break out a file, whoops! Water pump really (*()^ me off too

brushed three coats on that paper weight to find the impostor doesn't clear an OEM timing cover cleanly. Should have bought the Delco the first time
