was wondering because the early /4 use the same pads as a /6. the later /4's have their own pads.
/6 pads are bigger right? |

The /6 REAR pads are bigger than the /4 rear pads. In fact
most of the time I see errors from many parts places that list the same rears for both. The /6 rear is the same as the early (pre 73) /4 front pad. |

... And you have to drill one of the pad holes bigger to fit the pin.
Maybe I missed your real question: The /6 front calipers are different from the /4, the pads may be the same size, but the pistons are a lot bigger (in the same ratio of 19mm/17mm master cylinder, BTW). The later /4 pads were thicker, not bigger. |
