[Fot] Hawk Blue pads for early Spitfire?

[Norlin Engineering]

In looking through the Porterfield catalog,
http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/ they list the Hawk Blue pad for the late
Spitfire as an HB 118.  This is for the 14 LF caliper.  They do not list a
Hawk pad for the earlier 12 SP caliper.  They do however list their own pads
for the early Spit caliper in their R-4 full race compound as a part no. GD
528.  They also show rear shoes in this same compound.

Anyone have experience with the Porterfield R-4 pads and shoes on a
Spitfire?

I'm looking for a set of Hawk Blue pads for my early Spitfire, but can't
turn up an application number for them.  Hawk's site and the distributor
sites I've searched don't list Triumph applications or pads for Girling
calipers.  Must be time to switch to some fancy aftermarket calipers...

Anybody have an idea of the Hawk Blue part number for the early Spit (Mk
2) caliper?
