mistral brakes

[wirrallad]

has anyone used speedways (brakes parts superstore ) in rotherham
i have not long bought my mistral and it needs front pads but thought i might change all the brakes
http://www.brakepartssuperstore.com/index1.html they seem to list one set of rear shoes bss 8960 £14.99+vat and 2 sets of front pads bps 1543 with 2 spring wear indicators 605mm £16.75+vat and bps 1318 461mm £13.22+vat does anyone know which are for the mistral

thanks lee

hi, not knowing which mistral you have and which year! so i will guess 2.7td 1995 ?

the front pads normally don't have wear indicators or springs on the tops of the pads, they do have side ears that slot into the calipers etc, i paid £23 for ferodo pads

ref : front pads

hi yes it is the 1995 2.7td
from the above website then would you say it was the cheaper set then the bps1318 for £13.22+vat its hard to say me looking at the pics on the website when i dont know what they look like

thanks for your help

It might be easier to pop your wheel off to have a good look at the pads so you know for surtain which ones you need

wirralad.

the bps1543 look to be the correct ones for the front pads on a mistral.

the normal pads also fit the subaru and wd21 if i'm right, yours should not have any springs in the top centre of the pad plate, but should have what they call ears on each side.

see this link for what i mean by the two types, please note these may not be the exact type you need but you will see the ear type and the centre spring type!
