Princess 4pots??

an older conversion which due to the now increasing rarity of the 4 pots is not that common anymore...Once upon a time in the late 80's 90's this was the cheap way into a 4 pot calliper.

I may be babbling though, this may be an other calliper.

On the http://www.brakesint.co.uk/ web site you can search around various cars and they show you some quite detailed drawings/measurements of brake pads etc.
Can be very useful for tracking down source of up-graded brakes wink

Thanks everyone will have a look failing that can pop the pads out and take them to the autofactors just thaught it may have been a common upgrade works very well.

The marking on them is S12+8 which the internet says is an upgrade for Toyota or Datsun not sure which unless someone knows for sure might just pop into a break centre and ask if they recognise.
Have asked previous owner and they where with the car new unfitted when he got the car but did not keep the packaging.
