Brake pad taper

On my NA6 I'm noticed the outer pad is getting a taper to it, they taper to the out side of the rotor. I presume this could be some play in the caliper sliders or caliper flex (the sliders and greased don't bind). If it is play in the caliper is it possible to bush the caliper bracket so the slider runs straighter? Any suggestions?

same here. my last 2 sets of na6 pads did that. fastfreddy reckons it's normal but i dunno, it'd be interesting to see if there is a fix for it.

Floating calipers don't suffer from knockback...

I just changed my NA6 brake pads and there was no taper on the pads (about half worn).
