Brake pads

[Johners]

What the best brake pads to get for my 95 as mine are wearing out and I need some new ones.

I do a lot of heavy towing as well so need something to stop the truck and trailers well

Thanks

I'd take a look at http://www.mintex.co.uk/

Generally quite well regarded and not too expensive.

When did you last check the brakes on the trailer?

The trailers have had a service recently and the pads get changed once a year

The reason for my asking is that, I would have thought, the brakes on the trailer should be up to stopping it without the need to resort to heavy duty brakes on the tow motor.

Ah I see!!

No I think its about time i changed the pads on my truck anyway and just wanted to see what folks were using!

Stick new discs on at the same time, other than the rear handbrake cog, its very simple.

If you do swap the pads, make sure you put the little antisqueal shims in as well.

New disc wise ... I've been eyeing these bad boys up. They seem like pretty incredible value.

Thinking dimpled and grooved.

Would they fit a 95?

If you look elsewhere on the site, they do disc kits for the 95.

Those ones no .. but it looks like they have quite a range. Just a matter of selecting your model from the drop downs at the top of the page.
