county rear disc brakes

[mattmac]

My 1988 county came with rear disc brakes but took in for a RWC and need to replace pads and rotors - as it was a conversion from drum brakes not sure which ones to order-they're solid rotors with Lockheed calipers LB10PY015AC stamped on them?

Can tell from the rotor offset.

Matt, can you pop a pad out and trace around the backing plate?

Take that to an LR specialist and they should be able to match it.

Just edited my initial post as had put down incorrect caliper code/numbers. Had a closer inspection today to see if i could find any numbers on rotors but couldn't find any. Took pads out to look for numbers too but they're so worn nothing is visible-they measure around 90mm wide with retaining pin hole centres around 55mm apart-see attached pics.

maybe?

I've just a call from someone who saw the thread and he's suggested the pads are almost certainly Defender rears STC1601. The discs are also likely to be Defender rears.

just to update - the rotors i replaced with later defender ones (LR018026/SDB100980) which are 298mm diameter(old ones were 290) as the pads slightly overlapped the old discs- now the pads are fully covered by the new rotors-they're also slightly thicker at 14mm. i did have to shave a few mm off the inside of caliper mounting braket so it was more centred over the rotor. One thing I'm a bit confused about is the thin metal plate/shim that sits behind the back of the disc pads- are they needed and if so which way around do they go.

They are probably the anti-squeal shims like these:

okay thanks they're a bit different to that -btw is it necessary to grease the back of pads?

[mattmac]

here's some pics of metal shim that was behind the old pads i removed -this pic is of new pad but wondering which way around the shim goes or is it even needed?

Can't recall for sure which way round they go, but if I had to guess I'd say cut outs forward. in my case on the 130 I had to refit them or the new pads squealed badly.

hi steve-thanks for the reply- by cut-outs facing forward do you mean as in pic 2 or 3?

Pic 2 is for RH outer and LH inner pads
Pic 3 is for LH outer and RH inner.

Hi Steve- i added pic 2 or 3 to illustrate which way around the metal shim went on the same pad - does the cutout part sit over the exposed section of brake pad or over the part that already has the attached backing plate on it- Pic 2 is over the existing backing plate and pic 3 is over exposed section-hope that makes sense?
