[Healeys] [O/T] Brake pad info

[Kees Oudesluijs]

Limited value as it is not an independent way of testing. However there 
are huge differences in the quality of brake pads.

I tested brake pads for the ANWB, the Dutch AAA, in the 90's and was 
very surprised that even certified replacement products did not conform 
to the official norm at the time and some not certified product did 
conform. This was basically a requirement that any characteristic of a 
replacement brake pad for a car should not deviate more than 15% from 
the O.E. brake pad, this included friction cold and hot, heat 
resistance, fading. These tests were on a special computer controlled 
brake test rig in a university lab using new pads bought anonymously in 
shops, garages, car parts stores etc. and tested on O.E. disk which were 
renewed and run in with the pads under test.

The safest way of renewing brake pads is to use O.E. pads. If you are 
not deeply involved in the business, you just do not know with other 
replacements. They can be just as good as O.E. but can also fail dismally.
