Well I ordered some local Jurid brake pads for my 1980 w116 300SD.
My old caliper leaked all over and soaked the old pads, so I got new pads and a rebuilt Bendix caliper from Cardone.
Now after I received them I'm not so sure the pads will fit.
They are Jurid part number:571278J
and my car is not listed on the box, yet a lot of other Mercedes models are. No w116 is listed at all. These are 17.5mm and made in INDIA. They say they are for ATE calipers on the box.
A US competitor's site also lists these for my car but with part number:571278D.
The Jurid website only shows that one has a different "quality" number associated with it. I have no idea what that means. The Bendix branded pads seem to have a quality rating of 162 while others including some Jurid pads have quality rating of 630.
