MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Pads Compatability

Just want to confirm that midget Pads ('73) are the same as some Minis....and that I can safely order pads from the mini guys ? (MLB37 for Mintex)

i.e.

Mini Sport have Mintex MLB37 in M1144 for £34

http://www.minisport.com/mlb3744-brake-pad-set-mintex-m1144-mini-1984-on-8-4-discs-12-wheels.html

And thats the same as Motorsportwolrd (for example) list for the Midget

http://motorsportworld.co.uk/framefix.asp?ProductCode=MLB37M1144&PID=1148564

Mintex dont list the MG Midget in their online fitment guide strangely - (but does suggest the TR7 used the same pad...really!?)
Dean Smith ('73 RWA)

Dont worry - mini spares agree
"Brake pads for 8.4" diameter brake dics, with single pot calipers as fitted to all Minis 1984 on, later 1275GT and Spridget. In C-TECH M1144."
Dean Smith ('73 RWA)

I vaguely remember that the front shoes on a mini drums are a better fit for the midget drums.

You will want to verify that before ordering
