AP 4-pot calipers Mintex pads needed

[adam quantrill]

Just in case you have a set you never fitted/tried but didn't like I need a new set of Mintex 1144 soon as they are getting low.

Or else EBC pads.

Or if you found them cheap recently then please post up the supplier and price.

I will also need a set for the back but less rush with these.

Thanks for the pointers.I think I have the old box from the last set so I will of course double-check the part numbers before ordering!

Please clarify for a simple guy. Are you talking about brake calipers from AP Racing; or parts from an Austin Princess?

Wilf.

They are the brake pads for the Lockheed AP calipers.

So - picked up some MLB52's (confirmed correct as the same as the box in my garage) off the flea for £48 delivered - seems that demon tweaks are getting rid of old stock.

Then I looked for the MGB521's and there are some real bargains on the flea - just ordered two sets for £15 each delivered! One pair left for £12 and some more for £16 so grab them while you can.

Has anyone come across a supplier for pistons and seal kits for the AP calipers, reading the wedge pages has inspired me to get some (preferably stainless...)

Not long after I bought the 400 I overhauled the front calipers - new seals and aluminium pistons (suggested by one of the tech guys at AP), and new mounting bolts for the bells, which I bought from these guys:

However, the last set of rotors I had made up came from these guys, machined from AP blanks with grooves:

Used these http://www.classicbrake.co.uk/ to rebuild the rear brake calipers. When I priced up the cost of the parts to do it myself it was cheaper to get these guys to rebuild the caliper.
