MGB Disc brake pads

[Lynn Kirkpatrick]

I have heard of some complaints that the Autozone brake pads fit tight in the MGB calipers. It looks like Autozone, Advanced Auto, and O'Reilly's sell the exact same part. Or at least the p/n looks the same and the price is the same.

What about NAPA? Or is there another low cost alternative?
Thanks

NAPA does carry pads and I don't know how much cheaper you can go just , $14 and they will stop the car. Wouldn't go racing with them but you can stop.

Yup. NAPA carries most of the "wear item" MGB bits 'n pieces. I try and stay away from the other 'big-box' suppliers as most of what they have is made by back yard, third-world cottage types and they've NO idea what they're making.

BTW: NAPA supplies rear wheel cylinders for the MG and they're made in Italy. Not India or Taiwan.

Doc, do you know off hand if they have the wheel cylinders for the T series? PJ

Dunno, Paul. But it would certainly be worth checking. As long as you get an experienced counter guy.
