Is there  any way of identifying the components? The pads are fine but I'd 
like to lay  in another set as spares for future use. Also, the single pot MC is 
still  feeds the system and the brake pedal is SLOW to return to the stop & 
brake  light switch. Fix??
Thanks!

Pictures might help, but they cannot be "sent" through VV. Do the calipers  
have any numbers or letters cast into them? What diameter and thickness are the 
 rotors?  With pad measurements, you can find out the general origin of the  
pads and their "D" number - That is an industry standard identifier for most  
disk pads. Numbers like "D154" and others. Taking a pad to a "good" auto parts 
 store is also a reasonable way to proceed. It is likely a GM caliper, 
because  the rotors with that bolt pattern ( 5 on 4.75") fit only GM cars and 
trucks. We  love FNGs, by the way. We love them so much we don't call them that 
<grin>  You might receive a suggestion to buy a book or two (If you came through 
Corsa,  did you get a copy of the Corvair Basics Book with a new membership?) -
