Brake Pads (Lucas or Bendix??) 700

posted by  someone claiming to be UK 740 GLT Owner on  Mon Sep 15 11:48 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have had to replace brake pads (front) for first time in my ownership.
I want to DIY, but not sure which pads to buy.
There are Lucas or Bendix ones. The car is a 1990 G reg 740 GLT with 15" wheels and ABS (UK model).

There is no writing on either the brake pads or the master cylinder as to whether it is a bendix or lucas system. Are there any easy ways to identfy this?

Hi UK: Look closely at the brake caliper itself. I have a 88 740 GLE wagon and on the front brake calipers BENDIX is cast (in raised letters). It may be faint because of rust . Good luck . Dan.
