The new pads, whilst floating, shouldn't have much in the way of free space between them and the disc. A couple of mm either side until the pedal is first pressed, then there should be next to no play

Original complaint was the pads being loose in the caliper.

Which they quite possibly would be if the wrong caliper/disc arrangement was being used.

I knew what you were thinking ie solid disc in a 3.2/2.6 caliper .... we saw it at York on Mike Dundee's car when the caliper was pi$$ed wet through with brake fluid because a numpty mech had fitted the wrong discs. The pistons were just about to make a bid for freedom. Fortunately Mike got there in one piece .... it could have been different.

Turns out the numpty at factors ordered the wrong kit 310 instead of 315 . 310 is Vectra B ----------
