Rear in board disc pads

[lambosprit]

Can anyone out there tell me of a supplier of rear pads for inboard disc. I have an 83 s3 esprit and have found out that ebc call these pads dp298 but they have no stock and are not planning to remanufacture. Everyone I contact doesn't have stock.
As an alternative has anyone converted these type of brakes to a more readily available set up.

SJ Sportscars supplied mine. They have a good website.

Got mine from SJ as well.

They are Ferodo pads, code FDB141,(I think).

Had I know the reference code,I may have been able to get them cheaper from some place like Halfords.

No matter.

I doubt you'd find Halfords cheaper, though some back-street motor factors may well be. Chances are the same caliper was used on a SAAB, Citroen etc...

When I get them I'll post the details

EBC Direct site says their part number is DP298; also fits Lancia Gamma (when did you last see one?! ) - £24.02 a set.

I know but they dont actually supply them.Seemingly they have never actually made any...although it was usefull to know the number to get the shape required.

Doh! Sorry, next time I'll read the thread properly...
