The comments from the Experts Panel indicate that later retrofits
would be from 4/4s (http://www.gomog.com/panel/response20.htm) and
checking the parts cross reference
(http://www.team.net/www/morgan/tech/art012_3.html) would suggest that
GDB 535H pads might be correct.  Where to find them is another matter.

You might want to compare yours with Jonathan Russell to see if they
are the same (1992 4/4).  I may have some other contacts for Girling
stuff as well.  If you can get the Girling number for the calipers it
would help.
