Not sure if this is correct, but I thought I read somewhere that the factory disc pads were not riveted and only bonded to the steel backing plate. 

I'm not sure I trust my memory anymore, but I've always thought the factory pads were rivets, and the rebuilts ones were bonded..?   I'm pretty sure the factory pads were/are riveted (and bonded probably)...

Yeah, I might be thinking of the rear shoes.
