A TVR dealer maybe?

If you want to go independant then you need to either take a pad in with you so they can do a match in their pattern books, or else get the part number off the back of your existing pads and the motor factor will be able to match it

Not sure if the standaard and Red Rose/S cars have different rear pads (I know the fronts are different)so just double check if you are taking a part number off someone else

Craig, I have done quite a bit of reasearch on this one. TVR re-nukber the standard pads with their own part number making it very difficult to track them down. It first seemd that AP only made the front pads for TVR and impossible to buy from a factor!

Assuming it's the standard tusk that you have, the rear brake set up is the same as a Ford Cosworth Sierra

These are standard pads for the rear, but you may wish to consider using Mintex as they are a slightly better compound. Don't mix them though as the back tends to lock up to quickly!

For road use 1144 and 1155 for track use, fronts are part number mdb1292 and rear mdb 1287

Do not use the track pads for road use - (they need to get hot) and you just will not stop on the way to get a pint of milk!!

I have EBC Green stuff in at the moment which I quite like, they seem to be very free of dust.

Hope this helps
