Hi All

I have replaced my front discs with ones from David Gerald. I already have Works Motorsport calipers and obviously I need to replace the pads so that I have a new set to go with my new discs. However, I am having diffculty identifying the pad that I have.

Has anyone got any ideas as to what it is.



Cheers

Adrian

Probably EBC greenstuff pads..Is there no part number on the back?...You say they are works motorsport calipers?..(WMS)...Ziga

You could try emailing keri..The site is down at the moment though..

Yes, they're Greenstuff. But I couldn't see any part number.

I also tried emailing Keri, but his response is awfully slow!

Doug at David Gerald thought the caliper might be Wilwood. He had an outline drawing of the pads with dimensions that I sent him. He searched and found what he thought was right. He then sent me the discs direct and arranged for his supplier to send the pads direct so that I would get everything by the weekend. I was really gutted (as much for him as anything) that the pads were totally wrong. I don't know if his supplier sent the wrong one by mistake or if the wrong one had been identified. Hence the question!

Yes, neither of those look like my pad.

I am hoping that the pad supplier just sent the wrong pad by mistake and that the correct one is available from them.

But I have sent the photos of pad and caliper to David Geralds as well so that they have all the info.

Worst case scenario is that I get an email from Keri in a few weeks telling me what it is!

At the moment I have new discs with old pads. It's working fine but I would like to get those new pads on asap!
