Need to ID This Disc Conversion on My Spirit

   Y'all,

Y'all,

You might know from my other posts I am resurrecting a track car that hadn't run in six years.  I got it out on the street yesterday and it's clear the pads aren't suitable for street/autocross use, so I need different ones.  The Wilwood fronts were easily ID'd, but I don't know which calipers/pads are on the back.

Before anyone asks:

* I do not know the original application of the calipers/pads.
* I do not know the supplier of the conversion kit.
* I cannot ask the person who installed the conversion kit (he's deceased).

Pictures (sorry, I can't do links/pics yet):

* caliper installed -- https://i.imgur.com/nr99ot8.jpg

* rotor side of pad -- https://i.imgur.com/wDjBHK3.jpg

Thanks in advance,
Scrappy

	Have any auto parts stores around that have someone that has worked there for a long time? I would think that these pads are kinda unique because of the tab on the top, maybe someone would remember them at a parts store. Here is a catalog that has a bunch of different drawings (including size) starting on page 745. If nobody recognizes them, then maybe scroll thru this. https://ebcbrakes.com/assets/Flip-Catalogues/2016_USA_Automotive_Cat_Flip2_HTML5/2016_USA_automotive_catalogue_FLIP_2.html Have fun, Mike

	Mike, Thanks for the suggestions! A parts store with some "old heads" would have been my next step, but I got my answer on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicAdvice/comments/n4229u/caliperpad_id_needed/ It's an SSBC kit and the pad is apparently FMSI Reference Number D347/D545, which pops up plenty of options from various suppliers, including EBC. Thanks, Shawn
