How old is this brake pad for car. what type of brake pad for car? Which model. when was it made. age id. Found this brake pad metal detecting not to far away next to a abandoned house built in the year of 1900. Reproduction new or old? What is the thing in picture 4? And the holes? How was it it lost it looks like its in good condition. Could it belong to the people that lived there? 20210122_105004.webp20210122_105104.webp20210122_110901.webp20210122_111205.webp

I guess my post was deleted for some odd reason... again...

which perplexes me for it broke no rules and only stated the truth the OP needed to consider concerning posting etiquette.

:/

Guess too many people "liked" what I said.

Not only you buddy.


It seems that one can ask a question, yet never an answer to the question.

Being an ASE Certified Master Mechanic, I can answer the question very easily. The brake pad is from a General Motors light truck or car from the mid 1970’s-ish to the 1990’s-ish. The holes on either end are for the slide pins to go through, which keep the pad in position and allow it to move in and out as it squeezes the brake rotor. This variety is called a “riveted” pad, hence the holes in the face of the friction material...it’s held onto the metal backing with rivets. Later pads were called “bonded” pads, in which the friction material was adhered to the metal backing with a tough glue, and there were no holes in the face of the friction material. Just a part off a car is all.:icon_thumleft:

this reminds me of a find i made in a cave, in the middle of the woods, at least a mile from the nearest house.
It was a sandstone overhang, with a nice dry area.
I got one signal, dug down about 8 inches, and pull out a small brake shoe, from something like a model "A" Ford.
Why in the world would someone bury a brake shoe in a cave? Probably never figure that one out.

That’s what I call a hell of a wreck!:laughing7:

Maybe you should have come here and asked “how was the brake pad lost and who buried it”. You would likely quickly get the answers you are searching for.

Caves make great improvised garages.
