Does anyone one which pads fit G40R front and rear calipers?
The original OEM parts are great on the track, which I did just once.
I'm looking for something more road-friendly.
I'm sure the caliper are the Ginetta-badged versions of some manutacturer (AP Racing? Wilwood?).

Same way I found out which pads were in my G20R... from the Ginetta Challenge regs for the G40 www.ginetta.com/pdfs/ChallengeRegulations.pdf albeit from 2011 so may be out of date:

I think G40R calipers definitely come from Hi-Spec.
As soon as I find the pads codes I will post them here for others owners.

After an idle lunchtime digging around it looks like PFC 7705 refers to the pad shape as per http://www.pfc.parts/product/7705/ Are your current pads of these dimensions? Same front and rear according to the part numbers.

The 01 refers to pad compound.

14 is thickness in mm

54 - not sure

Then go hunt on a pad finder website somewhere if they're the right size.
