Which pads for 69 Budd disc brakes

["Kerry Pinkerton" <pinkertonk@xxxxxxxxx>]

 

Therein lied the problem.  Most stores that list the pads list them as D85s instead of D10's.  Those that list D10's ship in the D85's.  Some of those that say they can get them actually cannot.  Aren't computers wonderful????

 

Again, I'd like to know where someone ACTUALLY bought and received the D10's.  My source has a limited supply and we don't think they are being manufactured any longer.  Your current pads can be relined but it's very expensive.  A guy on the Imperial List had some done and they were about 50 bucks a set.  Frank Mitchell apparently bought a bunch because he puts them on Ebay.  He used to start the auction at 10 bucks and one of the IMLers bought a set for 10 bucks.  His most recent auction starts at 29.95 plus 7.50 shipping. (makes mine look cheap).  Here is the ebay link.

There is also a photo of the pads.  If you've never seen any, they are much different than you expect and are considerably larger than the common D85 style.

Subject: IML: Which pads for 69 Budd disc brakes

Recently there was mention of the correct part number for the pads on 67-69 Budd front disc brakes.  Apparently some stores list the wrong pads.  I just ordered rebuilt calipers and purchased D85 pads as per their computer listing.  I am planning on doing the brakes this weekend and was hoping someone might be able to verify that I have the correct pads.  Any help....

Thanks,
john
