Handbrake pads.
Discussion
They all look good to me - make sure you don't lose the screws though 12 quid a set - jeez!
Sometimes though the friction material comes away from the backing especially if used in reverse. I have found you can superglue them together and the join will last for years. Not recommended for normal brakes though! Just handbrake pads.

Isn't that what a brake and/or leaving it in gear is for. They only heat, break, fall out after a trackday anway 
I thought that the conversion idea would be bad news - the handbrake is also supposed to be your emergency brake (yeah, I know...) in case all else fails.
To be honest it would be less expensive and much simpler to buy some fully reconditioned handbrake calipers. When the ratchet mechanism does work, it's very good, mine worked properly for 5 or 6 years on the 400SX and self-adjusted.

Superglue is fine.
If you clamp them in a vice or G glamp for 24 hours before refitting - or you can glue them in situ on the car and leave the handbrake on overnight it will clamp them together.
The heat on later use cures the adhesive even more.
I superglued one of mine and it's still on there a few years later.
