85 C126 500SEC- Meyle MBZ090788 brake pads too small?
 

I was going to install replacement pads from europartsdirect.com, but they are about 1/4" too short. Excessive end play between the pads and caliper bracket contact surfaces. These are Meyle pads, which I've not used before.

The backing plates on the pads are about 1/4" shorter than the ones I pulled off. The fronts are single piston floating calipers; one side has a different brand of caliper (hmm.), but the caliper brackets both look original.
europartsdirect.com has nothing else in stock for this year/model. :|
