Think I would prefer to white water raft the levada than walk that close to the edge. Sm must be fearless to not even say anything!

Same design, unsure why they have drilled the eye lug holes though…

With no reference point other than the unknown previous pads, I can say the mintex MRM1802 pads in my spitfire are fine.  An improvement on what was there before in terms of stopping and progressiveness. They do generate more dust,  but on a car as scruffy as mine usually is I don't find this to be an issue.

Well that’s brave. Think I’d be wading in the levada to give me a safety margin.    I’m not one for walking hills any more (the GB 3 peaks and others were sufficient) do reconsidering this isle as a destination. 

Hi and thankyou for your reply, that sounds great, I had a rear alloy plate given to me some time ago so will attach a photo if you wouldn’t mind checking it out, it may be one of yours? If it’s ok then great, if not then I will  purchase one of yours and the plans Cheers Paul

I think 'Sod that' sums it up. I'llstick to the Isle of Wight   Roger

Jesus, effing crap! You're on you limit. I might have been on my hands and knees.  Looks very pretty in the (undoubtedly welcome) sunshine, but a little emotionally challenging. 

Yep I still sell them in the uk. There definitely use to be someone selling them in aus but unsure if still. For people with expensive shipping I do offer to just send the plans for the steel plates and ship just the rear cast plate so they can get the steel plates made locally.

I think I have a lifetimes supply of them for my spitfire. And yes, those 1144s were well travelled by the time you got them... How long ago was that?  

Hi, I’m new to this forum but have read that there is a kit available in Australia for converting to a Subaru diff in a GT6, can anyone tell me if these are still available
