[DeTomaso] Porterfield rear brake pads

[Guido deTomaso]

Thanks for the pic.  Looks like a piece of roll pin pressed in?
I mailed the old factory set of four pads to Porterfield for re-lining, along with four brake shoes from an unrelated project.
They are due back here Wednesday this week.  Muy dinero and it did take about five weeks.
This will be the first time I engage in the "turn the caliper piston 45 deg." exercise...
Thanks,
Guy D.

I have a set of Porterfield GD 535 R4-S pads for the rear I haven't installed yet. The knob on the back is round and stubby.
