Hoping someone can help me. I have replacement Brembo callipers fitted to my bike. I bought these many years ago from Harris when they were on offer. I remember they were '4 piston, 4 pad' callipers i.e. one brake pad for each piston.
I suspect I'll need replacement pads at some point this year, but how do I identify what pads I need?
And can anyone recommend a supplier?
Thanks.

Online catalogue.

I think EBC have outlines and dimensions of the different pads they produce, you can then cross reference to other manufacturers.

It looks like the 20785011 65mm P4/34 caliper. 65mm being the distance between the mounting points, P4 being 4 pads and 34 is the piston diameter in millimetres. 20785011 is the Brembo part number. A few Italian "superbikes" had them in the early two-thousands.

Yeah, that's what I thought too...

In the old days the paper ebc catalogue definitely had ‘actual size’ illustrations of every pad they made which was great when a customer turned up with a random pad from ‘my moped’ needing a replacement set.

Thanks all - that definitely gives me somewhere to start from.
Cheers.

ETA - I've got to add, they're bloody good stoppers!
