correct px disc pads?

[johnnymarr]

Hi all.
Wonder if anyone can spare me a minute to help set me right please?
i bought these EBC FA186 pads for my 2002 px
 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VESPA-PX125-PX150-PX200-1998-2015-MODELS-ORGANIC-FRONT-BRAKE-PADS-SET-FA186-/401284068374?hash=ite

as they say they are for my year / scoot  and i double checked this before i bought them but i got them before i took the old ones out as i wanted to have them at hand so i could change them right away as i was renewing my brake fluid and thought best to change pads too

The ones that just came out of my 2 year old caliper (Piaggio which came with the pads i'm sure) have a different rounded square head and shoulders and are slightly wider and a smidgeon taller ,looking very much like this

www.t-a-s-s.co.uk/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=28&products_id=3505&osCsid=c4a5e22d92d2a0b52bd4f5d313a36b

But, according to the link i just found and  did above found it looks like the caliper was updated in 2015 and the pad style was changed and  as i unluckily replaced my caliper in 2015  then sods law i'm knackered and have to replace the ones i bought for the updated square pads??

Make any sense? 
Any help much appreciated

Johnnymarr, sorry mate can't help you,as never knew about the new calliper, till you posted.
I'm interested in learning the answer too.😉
All the best.

Try em in ! If they fit then obviously check that they work ok before you set off to test em ! But If the ones you bought dont fit or match the ones you took out then as you say "your knackerd" ! Sods law , but at least you'll know next time . Does your new calliper look like the one in the second link ?

Cheers .

When buying disk pads take them out and measure them first (Its only one clip & pin). Then buy from a site that gives the dimensions, so you know what you are getting.
There are several types out there now and all nearly the same size.

I rang EBC (I know the car guy there) and for my 56 plate I bought SFA186 front pads, they fitted fine. I would have said yours was right, but it's the usual trick, measure twice, buy once.

Do either pads measure up to this one on eBay?

Hi, thanks to all who replied

mijapxman
i think the answer must be...
its the correct pads for a 2002 px
Its the correct new caliper (bought May 2015) for a 2002 px
Its the wrong pads for a 2015 caliper due to the update

Thanks, im not going to burst the packaging as i will try for a swap
pxguru
I know i should have, lesson learned
ironsloth, thanks very much for that, hope yer wee lunchbox hasn't been knicked by the bigger boys  (sorry couldn't resist)
The ones in your ebay post are the ones i bought

Anyway, lesson learned...the old pads still have about 4mm left so i'll put them back in and try and get a swap for the other ones then change them in the winter
Thanks very much guys
all the best

For the record, it's an actual lunchbox, nothing like Linford Christies......

[johnnymarr]

that link is really useful and solved it once and for all - the pads changed from 2011 to 2016
