Im just trying to work out what kind of pads they are as I cant find their pattern anywhere and wondering if this caused the poor braking as well as the fluid? they have really bad cut outs, some of the pad rusting and braking off in my hand as youll see in one of the pictures...so the pads any idea what series of bendix? why the pattern?
