Douglas Arnold Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Anyone suggest the best place for purchasing brake accessories for my 1360 Herald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Hi Douglas - when you say 'accessories' what exactly do you mean - is it pads / shoes, hoses etc or brake upgrades? Many suppliers sell exactly the same product with amazing differences in prices, there are also some products that are below standard, so let us know what you need and someone will recommend.

Paul H Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I use the Club Shop and Canleys . For front pads it’s best to buy Mintex 1144. These are much more expensive than the standard pads but worth every penny and these pads will stop your car Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Douglas, Canley Classics and James Paddock are cheapest, Moss and Rimmer bros. most expensive, and a lot of the stock identical. Club shop can be expensive, but they are always on the look out for quality. Which is why they stock Mintex 11/44s! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 1144s are usually cheapest via fleabay, there are several motorsport suppliers who are very competitively (!) piced.

JohnD Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I would never buy brake pads on eBay! https://www.wintertyres-yorkshire.co.uk/fake-brake-parts/ "Mission critical" parts must be reliable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I bought my mintex from Demon Tweaks on EBay . I trust Demon Tweaks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like the look of the £37 seller, how about demon tweaks at £42? Plenty of big retailers sell via ebay at better prices than their own websites etc. Ah, Paul beat me to it! Colin, as you know, sellers put daft prices on out of stock stuff to keep the listing live, it must be cheaper than re-listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
