wild bill Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 My car is a (or was originally) a 1997 1.8 K series supersportWide track suspension standard brakes. Can anyone point me to the correct pads (link or part number)My pads are squeaking and they haven't been changed for a while which would indicate hardened pads so it's a job worth doing. Set i ordered online were wrong because i'm a muppet. Any pointers appreciated Edited to say I ordered Mintex 1144 pads Caterham 7 and they didn't fit hence my question. What am I missing (apart from a brain obvs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair B Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Think you need pads for Triumph Spitfire calipers - type 14, part number MGB533M1144 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john milner Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 When I had Mintex 1144 pads they squealed every time i braked even though I broke them in as per instructions. Heavy braking gave a temporary fix but the squeal would come back after a few miles. Loads of dust as well which may have led to a caliper seizure. Everyone else swears by them but I swore at them.
