Default AP Racing 4 Pot Brake Pads

Im having trouble getting a new set of brake pads. Ive tried a couple of part companies locally by taking the pads in and had no joy. Also on the net ive tried searching but none seem to have the same measurements as the pads I need. They are AP Racing 4 Pots, I think they are from a Sierra Cosworth originally but fitting them to my mk5 escort.

The measurements are : Length: 105mm and Heigth: 57mm. Its the pad type with one lug on the top rather than one at each side.

If anyone knows the part number that would be a good help.

What you need to do is find out the caliper spec numbers, for example my 4 pots are cp5200's. Once you have this number getting the correct pads should be easy

Ok thanks for that, going to work on the car now, will see what I can find. Do AP Racing only do the pads at the correct size or have you found other aftermarket companies do the same?
