Brakes with pictures

Allooooooo
I did a brake upgrade the other day and in the process I bought the wrong pads.
The upgrade I did was fitting the Griff 500 brakes.
I was suprised though that the pads on the griff and my S were the same size!!!

My question is can I fit the much larger pads from the granada into the 500 calipers or can the granada calipers fit the S hubs?
They fit so much nicer on the disk it would be a shame not to make some effort to get them on.

Well thats my excuse and im sticking to it !

Still lots more to do to my baby but after coming back from a great drive round sneterton last week Ive gotta say those new brakes are fantastic!!!!

If they fit and do not foul the hub / caliper then they should be ok. I take it the Griff 500 brakes are sourced from a Granny by TVR in the first place.

Actually I found them lying around on the garage floor
Seemed rude not to use them!

While at snerterton i was chatting to a chimp owner who said that all I have to do is file down the area of the pad where it fouls the caliper.
I was hoping that someone on here has done this before because the pads cost £20 and I want to take them back if I cant do anything with them.

Thanks for your help
