Today I put the original front brake pads back in. The originals are riveted. The front rotors have a really deep factory depth groove that left a matching peak in the pad. Disc has date code of "G 7 3" (July 7, 1973) FYI: the car was shipped on July 19, 1973.

(BTW, the car doesn't stop nearly as quickly now with the original brake pads and shoes as it did with modern braking materials. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img])
