They have certain indents to avoid the piston turning in it's cilinder The piston does not push the pad all around, has an indent with acertain angle position, has to do with rotating disk forward direccion. No big problem, but it can pull to one side if not positioned simetricly on both pads, both calipers. It also guives the diference betwen little braking foot presure, or a hard brake feel...but it stops OK. ¿How could I upload some sketch? then it is self explaining... those two metal spacers, are for caliper piston position.
