Yes, that's the early pad, the one that fits your car.

Yes, I can rebuild your calipers, but I need you to send me yours first. That's 
to protect me from getting junk as cores. I can't rebuild junk and I won't know 
what you have until I can get it apart and look at it. I'm afraid this take me 
some time to do, so you probably need to be able to do without your car for 3-4 
weeks. Shipping to Canada is also expensive.

The winter is probably the best time to do this, and that's a good time to not 
be driving your type 3 anyway.

Sorry, I haven't figured out a reliable cure for the 71+ clocks. Others report 
good results by flushing them out with WD-40, but I remain skeptical.
