More info on brake pads and retaining pins

[Steve-V6-D61]

Hi

Been doing some research on brake pads, in the Renault manual its says min pad thickness is 9 mm but on the AP product info it says 2.5 mm looks like a good way of Renault fitting new brake pads well in advance of when there needed according to AP.

AP part numbers for calipers are CP6605-80S TWR and CP6605-9SO TWR

Clio front pads are the same as
Morgan Aero 8 4.4 2000 on
Noble M12 3.0
TVR, Cerbra, T350, Tuscan etc
Seat Cupra Sport (model ?)

It's the Citroen XM Mintex pads that k-tec sell. Found that they need a rework to make fit as there a wider pad.

Hi
just ordered

DP3036C redstuff fronts £74.95 and DP31526C redstuff rears £48.95 from www.camskill.co.uk both sets with free postage £123.90

Couple for forums say they do fantasic deals on tyres as well, but can be unreiable, I think the the pads will come striaght from EBC with Camskill just being the agent.

But I am happy with the deal could not find cheaper and FREE P & P

Cheers
Steve

Camskill are top people for trackday tyres.

Those are great prices, equivalent to 20% off RRP with no minimum buy.

Good ammunition for me to push the supplier for a bigger discount on the group buy

cheers
