I just rang auto-pro to recheck my numbers, they don't have genuine Ford pads but do have Bendix

$69.95 front and $69.95 for rear.......so $140 for the set or thereabouts......however these are not the genuine replacement, I would hazard a guess that genuine would be dearer again as shown above

All due respects, but the beginning of the thread, many were downgrading the seller and people that have to buy 2nd hand to keep their car on the road.....

A couple of good comments were

"I've thrown pads with more meat than those in the bin before.
Who in their right mind would bid on them? "

and "If you need to buy used pads you probably can't afford an fg."

Comments like this aren't really supportive, nor thought put into situations that do arrise as I have pointed out.....So may I request you have a look back at the posts previous to mine and re-assess....

Talking Re: sweet deal - used fg brake pads - wtf

Guys, i supose buying used brake pads would be like buying a used car. If they are roadworthy they would be ok, buying a s/hand car then replace everything in it so it is new again i dont think so. Anyway just my s/hand 20c worth. Cheers Neil.:
