paisesmediterraneos Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I am David from the south of Spain. I have a 2003 Caterham 1.6 k Roadsport EU3. I would like to change the brake pads. Do you know if the Caterham brake pads are being used by any other British car??, I can find in Spain MG, Triumph and any other British cars spares but nor Caterham. The last orders I made to UK I paid import taxes plus customs charges and it made the bill to grow much more. I only drive in road not track or race. Thank you, regards, David.

Area Representative Richard Price Posted October 17, 2022 Area Representative Share Posted October 17, 2022 David, you have Triumph Spitfire front and Ford Sierra rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ford Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Triumph Spitfire Mk IV for the fronts. I expect Mk 3 is the same, but I think early ones were different. Not sure which variety of Ford Sierra the rears come from, but that should be a good starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM25T Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 For the rears you can look at Delph part number 507CC. The part number of the pads for the front with Girling calipers is Mintex MGB533 M1144. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevehS3 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 #8 unless there is some old stock around (Caterham don't have any) 507CC isn't available. Replaced by LP507 which has a different material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 a friend located Delph 507CC overseas at a car parts retailer or Amazon, so not unique to Caterham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisesmediterraneos Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 I already bought the brake pads, I was reading the part 5 of Get To Know Your 7 about changing the brake pads. Last weekend I changed the front ones, but the part 5 of GTKY7 doesn´t explain how to change the rear pads, where the hand brake is also fixed, they only explain how to check the wear on the pads. Must I remove the caliper to change the pads??, how to remove the pads, I don't see pad retaining pins as the front calipers??, any consideration about the rear brake adjust??. Thank you very much.
