Are the vwr brakes something else rebadged?
I was under the impression they were project mu, so that may be a place to start to ge the specs/ pad info.

Give DaveB a message, he may know the caliper model, and where to get pads.

Chris Witter - Nice Bloke

at Witter Racing Services 0203 286 3127 dont think he carrys much stock though so may need to wait for a while (slow boat from china and all that) may be able to sort you the same day

Dont think the VWR/Witter tie up was as busy as it was planned to be and its common internet knowledge that VWR are looking at different suppliers he was already aware of that last time I spoke to him. Hes going to be a distributor for Ohlins in the new years

Cheers

Hey, how comes you've got the BBK from VWR...?  :wink:

I've been chasing Matt for these like everyday.  Last time I spoke he said I could expect them in early Dec?

Gill - have you got a spare backing plate? Or can someone lend you one?

If you send them to Carbotech or BG developments, they'll copy it and put on any Carbotech or Pagid compound (respectively) you want.

They can turn them around inside a week usually, might be faster than chasing your tail?
