Suggest you take the pads off an take them to any decent brake parts supplier, they should be able to match them for you

ok. i tried the numbers i could see on the caliper but i think there is more than i could see. the main listing i could find was for mercedes. i then found they do them 4 most cars.

Most good car factors have a book to compare outlines of pads to what you got, simply take the pads in , and bobs your uncle.

typing some of those numbers in search brings up a multitude
appaprently there is a "hawk brake comparrison book"
try thiose numbers to a motor factor and hope for the best

a toyata celica/supra was close, alsio used by lotus

cheers for all the help, but think what im going do, is take the caliper off, and go up the local motor factors, see what they can do, motorparts northfield seem be my best bet, guy in there is quite a helpful chap, thanks again all.
lesson here is, dont give any1 else something that realy needs done by ya self, then only you is to blame for losing stuff :mad:
