[QUOTE="purpledog07, post: 624443, member: 22687"] I searched for EBC for my '72 crosser, no joy. They make pads for '73 on and some are listed on ebay for earlies but the listed measurements are incorrect. Most sellers give measurements so just check before you buy. I have ATE '73 on calipers on bushes with original size '72 disks. Unfortunately, this dictates '72 thin pads. I ended up buying Brembo pads, they're good quality, readily available at motor factors and at least 1/2 the price of EBC green/redstuff. ATE brake systems are what was originally fitted and their pads are good if you can find them. It's worth bleeding your system again to ensure its clean and air free. If you do, ATE dot 4 brake fluid is highly recommended by me, and countless others on classic forums around the world. It' a little expensive but proven over years to perform really well and protect systems well even with irregular/seldom use. Well worth the money to preserve your setup. [/QUOTE]
