the bendix brake pad book has a listing of all the brake pads to suit
different cars... with the VT DB1331 are the standard and police vehicles
use a different pad, the PBR or DBA books should list the different discs
they would have too... they'd give you diameter, thickness, ra ra ra
also has real size diagrams of the pads in the back of the Bendix book too,
with all sizes...
