Look around on the web for the Mintex pads.... They can be had for much
less than Moss. As for king pins, check around. My local one man shop
can ream them with no problem - he's cheap too. (Just drive around and
find a shop with old cars sitting in the parking area.)

Subject: Brake Calipers & Pads
I want to have my Kingpins rebuilt and have my brake calipers off as
well. Someone told me that you can install larger pads from a Jag in the
standard calipers to give more brake surface. Does anyone know the
number of the pads and if they are in simi-metallic? Moss list a Mintex
V-8 pad for $79.95 which seems high. Would like to find an alternative.
I want to send my calipers off to have them rebuilt as well. What does
the group suggest. I used Apple for my rear shocks and seemed to do a
good job. Who does both kingpins and brake calipers and will clean and
paint and do a great job? Please let me know your suggestions. Thanks,
