The bug pads are 53 mm wide, while the 4-pot pads are 75 mm wide. I digged the new pads out of a corner of the basement. The p/n for the big pads are 361 698 151 A (note the p/n starts with 36 - variant only) The regular 72-73 pads for the type 3 is a size in between the bug and 4-pot pads. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
