Default Identifying pads

Just remembered that an easy way to know whether it has Girling or ATE is the the retaining pads have a R clip through the pine - ATE the taper pin. East way to remember which is which is that there is a R clip in the word GiRling.

It is also a good idea to replace the hold down kit when it shows signs of deterioration. try to keep a front and rear hold down kit in my spares in case it is needed when changing pads.
