Anyone able to tell me the thickness of the actual pad friction material, please?
That's excluding the metal backing plate of course.
I'm trying to calculate my pad wear rate as I don't want to change then unnecessarily early.
I usually change them when they're down to around 2mm, and they are just a tad under 3mm at the moment, and I can't remember what thickness they were new.
I believe that under 1.5mm is an MOT fail, but if I left it that late I'm sure I'd get brake fade in the Alps.
Thanks,
Singvogel.
