MG MGA - Greenstuff brake pads

Can anyone advise of an economic supplier (if there is such a thing) in the UK for Greenstuff front brake pads for the standard MGA caliper?

I am taking a trip through the Alps in the summer and the greenstuff pads that I am running at the moment are 2/3 worn down and I think it would probably be best to change them.

I think I recall that you can fit MGB pads after a slight modification and I understand that these may be a little less expensive.

Thanks

Cheapest I've seen is £55.77 delivered on ebaY. MGB pads are completely different, probably the calliper pistons that you were thinking of.

You are correct Neil, it is the MGB pistons that I was confusing with the pads.

I will check out ebay later, that is a big saving on the usual source of MG parts!

Thanks

Problem is they are another £13.73

Thats still over £30 savings over the usual supplier so thanks again
