I have a stock 73 1.7 with a 19mm master. What pads should I use for the fronts? I am getting some squeal, so I want to change them out.
Also, if I can't get them from flaps, let me know a good source. Thanks, Joe |

I bought mine from Pelican when I did the brakes. They were PBR organic pads and didn't squeal after I put them on. I don't know if you can get them at your flaps though.
BTW, didya get yor timing sorted out? |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) What she said... Don't get metallic to eliminate the squeal. Your car won't stop. Sometimes organic pads can squeal. Look for things like rusty pins and springs that pads can get hung up on. Repair, replate, replace... |

Hawk HPS, pretty sure you can get them from either PP or perhaps TireRack.
