Update and thread revival

I’ve managed to locate a set of ‘new old stock’ Austin Princess/Ambassador front brake pads from a chum with an MGB V8 conversion. Comparing them to the ones removed from my callipers they are identical

So the caparo callipers take the same pad as the Lockheed calliper from the Austin Princess

Quick search for the Austin Princess pads brings up mintex MLB52

The circle is completed

However as above talking with Mintex the say they can’t sell them for road use in the Morgan because they’ve not been type approved for the Morgan! I can buy them but mustn’t use them

Daft!

Anyway - my problem is solved.

Great on the road, these pads have also performed brilliantly at Prescott and Castle Combe too.
