TD Brake Pads

[Profpinz]

The factory TD brake pads are unique to the Pinzgauer yet the only difference appears to be that they are thicker than standard "off the shelf" pads that fit that particular caliper....... so apart from the additional brake lining thickness is there any major difference that would stop one using standard, readily available, pads?

Thanks!

Actually they are standard pads. There are different brake pad thicknesses available for the Girling/Lucas 54 Calipers ranging from 16,2mm to
19,8mm depending on application.

The TD uses 19,8mm pads. The good thing is that the VW Corrado G60 uses the same ones. As the VW performance and tuning community is pretty large
it is no problem to get quality pads for a very reasonable price.

I use EBC Brake pads on my Race Pinzgauer (2,6t + 300hp means a lot of stress) and on my 718K. I couldn't be happier with them.

I use the standart Pads from the Audi 80 (?), with no Problems on my 718 K

Thanks Richard, Gregorix, I had in my mind, that they were especially thick for the Pinzgauer but obviously not.
I purchased four boxes of the 19+mm pads today, much to the amazement off my brake supplier, who thought I'd need less.........I guess he's just not used to Pinzgauer's.
