Possible? I dunno, haven't found a blank large enough. Also on the OEM pads the bottom is rounded and crimped over, and would probably crack if you tried to open it up. I am playing with brakes today on another bike and will take another look. I have the over sized Firbrax that Harris sells (SH144), I have the rear brakes adjusted up pretty tight and they stop very well, the front are still on the loose side until I can get the wheel trued.
