Sierra brake pads
Picked up a set of Sierra calipers last year just in case the Hi spec items I had fitted failed SVA. Well SVA man did fail the Hi Specs so I need to
fit the Sierra items.
Basically I know nothing about what I have and I need a set of pads for them. Are all Sierra pads the same? If not how do I identify what calipers I
have?
If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!

I think all the sierra rear pads are the same
if they are the calipers you got from me - just ask for rear pads for an XR4x4 (and if they insist on details say its a 1989, 2.9L  )
[edit]
ebc's website (look at the models listed in the yellow bit)
http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.com/search/default.asp?part=dp571&v1=car&t1=
they are all (inc 4x4 and 2wd cossies) either a 571 (with wear indicator) or 617 (without wear indicator) pad in various compounds

They're all the same - just use the flip chart at Halfords.

They are the very same, couldnt remember who I got em from! LOL! Gettin senile I think!
Vinnie, got Hi Specs front and rear. Rear are the Ultralight 2 handbrake calipers and they failed because the inner pads operate hydraulically at all
times, even with the handbrake. Basically SVA man dosent like it because "what happens if you get a hydraulic leak?" he asks. "Same
thing that happens if the handbrake cable snaps", was my reply. He didnt buy it so I failed.
Cheers guys.

well it was nearly a year ago now 
I should add that the only reson for asking for XR4x4 pads is they are easy to find in the book at the motorfactors (and you don't get cossie
tax)
