Shimano BR-M475/M515/M525
Nexave C500/C600
TRP Spyre /Spyke/Hy-RD
Tektro Augila/Auriga
amongst others.
In EBC brakes this is pad type CFA327, and has backings that have principal dimensions 35mm x 30.68mm.

B - calipers using this are 'wide', and may interfere with two-piece 'narrow' rotors (this probably depends on the design of the rotor, see rotors tab for more detail). Most wide rotors are recommended for resin pad use only. If you use a 'narrow' rotor with a 'wide' caliper, you may find your pads wear quicker. OTOH there's no issue using a 'wide' rotor with a 'narrow' caliper, excepting obviously that they may be cheaper

Might the answer to this be in in your attached spreadsheet:B - calipers using this are 'wide', and may interfere with two-piece 'narrow' rotors (this probably depends on the design of the rotor, see rotors tab for more detail). Most wide rotors are recommended for resin pad use only. If you use a 'narrow' rotor with a 'wide' caliper, you may find your pads wear quicker.

Would the B type fit if you're using a wide rotor?

No, it most definitely does not.

Now, I don't doubt that it should be the right way round, but try as I might I can see no difference between the two ways round - the spring is completely symmetrical so far as I can tell and so are the pads.
Anybody??
