I have Dennis Welch front disc brakes and when I bought the kit several years ago the disc pads came taped together in a plain box with no part number. Does anyone have the pad part number? I don't know if it is the same on the 6 cylinder cars. I have asked them if they could supply me with the manufacturers part number so I could order them on this side of the Atlantic but as I ssuspected, they "couldn't supply that". I don't blame them but I assume there is more than one source. I do not know if they are the same as the factory front brake pads. I don't need them now and if I must I'll pull one off and trace it and see what my local parts jfolks can do. Thanks for any help.
 
Moss will have them. IIRc, the DW calipers are from an early '70s TR6. The pads should be the same as the late BJ8 - rectangular with holes for the pins to go thru. I believe there are 2 different pin diameters, so I'd measure your pins diameters and call Moss tech support to make sure you order the correct one.

Here DW clearly states their pads fit late BJ8:

Most grateful Steve. The two possible pin diameters is a good tip. I'll keep you in mind if I go for the rear brakes.
