OT - Tintop pad upgrades
After my thread the other day re the strange noise my Jag was making, i pulled the wheel off today and had a closer look. The wheel bearing looked
fine and there was no excessive play in the wheel but when we took the pads off, a 4cm ish chunk fell out and it had broken off the inside pad
friction material.
In the hope this is what was making the noise, i will change the pads but figured, as i was changing them, i may aswell upgrade them.
Does anyone have any experience with greenstuff pads?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Might be worth checking that the broken part hasn't fooked the disc, any idea what caused it to come off?
Btw, how goes the nosecone modding?
A bird in the hand....

I think the bang i heard might have been a stone or something hitting it and causing it to break as i cant see anything else wrong with the car. The
disk looks fine. That was the first thing i checked.
I havn't got round to doing anything with the cone yet as have been sorting out other stuff like my grandads clutch and the Jag 
Hoping to get some time in a couple of weeks to start with the fibreglassing

I used yellowstuff pads, 1.7 ton car on track late breaking, worked perfectly.
Cold breaking is good, after an application it is excellent.
