Need Rear Brake Pads Quickly - any references plse?

Postby mmatthej1 » Wed 18.07.2012, 12:20

Help - rear pad on one side has just disintergrated (pad from metal backer), when I came to removing for caliper maintenance.

Can anyone tell me what the pads are from (eg. GM source) or - better - some reference numbers that a motor factor can recognise - I really need to get them today!!

I have a pair of part used - about 2/3's left - just up the road in Newbury if you wanted to pick them up

Thanks to all - after trying for 'in stock' around the factors, I jumped in wife's car and drove down to good old Sportamotive in Salisbury, who had EBC DP978 in stock, thankfully!

(Got some alternative refs. around the factors, for interest, these being:

Delphi LP896
Mintex MDB 1765

Apparently, only the Delphi is current, Mintex being obsolete)

Do not know how you get the Mitex as being obsolete may be as far as Mintex are concerned but there are still a few out there as I purchased a set last week.
