Answered: Rear Brake Pads - YB Piazza

I am trying to track down a set of rear brake pads for the ventilated discs that were fitted to YB Piazza turbo that were sold in Australia in 1985. There is no listing in Aus but they are of Japanese origin. I am hoping that the same brakes as an Impulse.

I have the brakes fitted to 1975 Gemini Coupe using the diesel gemini rear end which these brakes fit onto exactly.

It's my understanding that the Impulse by Isuzu is indeed what you're looking for. It's best to contact/PM "GTJim" in NZ, as he has more info on this.

Repco think they might be able to scratch up the fronts but the rears are a mystery to them.

The supplier Baz offered looks good -about 58 quid including shipping but I might try PBR direct to still if they still make them.

Thanks guys
