5KCSTQ brake pads?
All,
I have always thought that the '86 5KCSTQ had a running change in
Jan '86 when they went to a different brake pad. I assumed that the dual
piston calipers (that's G60 to you Bob:-) used the same pads as the post
Jan '86 brakes.
Here's what I _KNOW_ for sure now. It's only a little more than
before, but its progress :-)
My '86 (Jan '86 build date) has dual piston calipers, and takes a
large pad (145mm top to bottom). My neighbour's blue '86 has the single
piston calipers, and takes the smaller pads (110mm from top to bottom,
not including a retaining tab). Would someone care to measure a pad from
an '89-on 100/200? I am betting that they are 145mm.
Is there a third pad, or does the '89-on merely have the dual
piston calipers that are occasionaly found on earlier 5KCSTQs?
Thanks very much.
