Ok, I have one set of Repco Metal Master front pads for Bendix calipers #D321M and two sets of Remsa brand front pads for bendix calipers. I have another set of Repco Metal Masters that I'm not sure about..part number D198M They have front written on the box and if they are, then they are for ATE caliper (can anyone look up a repco number?). If anyone wants any of them, I'll take $25 a set (thats about half list) plus actual shipping.
