Subject:What Type/brand of brake pad? + Rotor question - PICS
From:neil N

Hi all.

This for an '81 with Teves.

My fronts have a slight* grinding sound. I think I'm not used to the
sound of metallic or semi metallic pads.

Is this pad metallic or semi metallic?

First letter of PN might be O, G, or U but the rest is:

RID 278 171

A - 20011

Anyone know the brand? Just curious for future reference.

Is this rotor surface glazed?

Both at 12.5 mm and have no bad marks.

Much thanks.

Neil.
