Appie,

I looked at the photo and was going to venture a guess but then I thought for a second; "what if my guess is wrong? If Appie orders
them from a shop in the USA and they don't fit when they arrive he WILL NOT be a happy camper!"

Suggestion, in the photo you have the wheel off already, take the two bolts out that retain the pads and photograph them with a
ruler in the photo we can use for reference. We need to see the distance between the pad mounting bolts.

Thanks Rob. You are a wise man


Should have done that wben the weels were off And will do that if I have to
For now my workshoptime is over. Note there are a few more pics on the fotosite
Middle and rear seems to be the same except for the handbrake on the rear

Middle ones more worn then rear

Are the lines going to the calipers the same? Or is one a banjo type (bolt thru hose end) and does the other line have a fitting on the line that screws in the caliper? Chances are the one with the parking brake is banjo and is 80mm like a Caddy and the one without the brake is GMC and probably smaller hence more wear on smaller which has more pressure.
