Ditto to the Mintex pads, some kind soul had boxed up in a Bendix box, presumable as they'd fitted them, discovered just how cwap they were, then bought the Bendix to replace them.

I had Bendix fitted before, and thought I was about to replace like for like.......nope the Mintex pads in the box which I fitted, squeal dreadfully upon light brake application.

This is I suspect due to an inclusion in the friction material, as my fitting technique hasn't changed drastically over the past 30 odd years, and none of the rest of the fleet have squeaky brakes

If these were real Mintex, they've gone downhill somewhat from the last time I fitted Mintex Don pads
