Peaks Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 It's time for new pads on my Vitesse. I've had Mintex 1144 fitted for the last 10 years and have been very pleased with them, so want the same again. Is it just a case of buying the correct pads for a Girling type 16 caliper, or are the pads model specific? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Clark Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 The pads for Type 16 calipers only vary between the imperial and metric sizes, with different diameter holes for the retaining pins. Your Vitesse should have imperial calipers, metric didn't start to appear until 1972. If in doubt, buy the pads and fitting kit from the Club Shop, they will ensure you get the right ones.

iani Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 If you get the metric ones it's straightforward enough to drill the holes larger to take the imperial pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
