Does anyone have a set or know a good reliable source? I think the X-ref on this forum actually refers to a brake disc, not the handbrake pads. I was also wondering if anyone has a guaranteed known correct part number?
I reckon they're late Jag. E-type ones... Jag p/no 8846?

From memory -Ferodo FBD 821- were the ones I brought when I replaced mine.
I also have a part used pair I believe, if that's of any use?
How did the boots go?

Boots went on a treat! Magic, thanks very much. Great job. The old ones were definitely tatered, too rough even to keep as an emergency spare so I'm glad I did them.
If FBD821 is def. right I'll give that a try! I tried some brake parts equivalency website which thought FDB821 was a disc, which was why I queried it, that was all. Will make enquiries and report back.
Thanks for the offer, but I'll probably need a whole set, I think mine are still the original ones so I need to seap them all really...
Thanks Chris!

Well, I seem to have got hold of them through this outfit:

I also needed a return fork as I had bust one!

wish I'd seen this sooner Rich, we've got 3 hand brake pads here you could have had if
they would have got you out of a tight spot.

Thanks anyway! Not to worry, I might still come knocking if these ones fail to turn up!

brake pipes and John behind the counter said he knew you - no escape when you've got
a De, eh!! lol :lol:
