I do - lots. Let me go find the link to the build thread on the forum.

Spotted these in the classic car park at Goodwood yesterday. The car park is always like being in the best ever toy shop.

...I guess this is the local Scotland Group, though not sure how much it's used - if at all! Good reminder Doug...

Had a great run in East Lothian yesterday...

Well at least it didn't sell at that price.

Or a dealer might bag and absolute bargain, given the website platform

It's climbing. Nearly at £30k. I wonder how far off my £60k guess might be :-)

Oh my goodness yes! At that sort of price, I’d go find the cash from somewhere. Surely it has a reserve north of £30k.

I'll be bold and say £60k - it's a rising market for these cars, especially in that condition

Be good to know / understand what is optimum for our Z cars. I know what you mean, as these pads will likely also go on other more modern cars.

I see how they'd do that, but doubt they are designed to also work with the spring attachment - the picture 2 above whilst the only way, does not exactly look correct, where as above does - but has to omit the plates.

It's unclear what the purpose of these stainless steel plates are for - they seem to apply pressure to the retaining rods. I struggle to imagine that the spring clip is designed to be used in tandem with these plates, rather it's one or the other. This image shows the spring without the plates...

Did you use that spring clip in the end? I've been wrestling with a similar challenge.

Just saw this. Perhaps this is what I should be doing with that spring? (granted that picture is missing the pins holding the rods in place)

So my new brake pads came with these spring clips. I saw a thread (below) which showed a couple of difference scenarios of fitting them, one which seemed wrong and the other which did not have the other clips being used. Neither of which seemed right, so i opted for not trying to fit them at...
