1. A brake pad assembly for a heavy vehicle disc brake, the brake pad assembly comprising:
a retainer clip; and a brake pad that includes:
a volume of friction material;a friction face of the friction material configured to contact a brake rotor in use;a support face opposing the friction face, a distance between the friction face and the support face defining a first depth; andfirst and second circumferential end faces arranged to extend from the friction face towards the support face, wherein a bearing surface is provided in the brake pad spaced from the support face at a second depth that is less than the first depth and being generally coplanar therewith, the retainer clip being arranged to engage the bearing surface and further being engageable in a complementary formation associated with a complementary support of the disc brake so as to hold the brake pad against the support face.
