Default Need race brake pads for early cobra

Folks, PLEASE…respond to this topic ONLY if you have Advanced track time or Vintage Racing experience with a WORM AND SECTOR Cobra. I’m trying to find pads that behave similar to the old Ferodo DS11 pads. They have Coefficient of Friction of 0.42-0.45, and provide great braking confidence on tracks with high speed and tight corners.

The pads for the W&S “Type B” Girling calipers OEM have tangs at the top of the backing plate, NOT holes for pins. The pads are held in place by a plate with spring steel “keepers”; the plate covers the pads, and is held in place with two bolts. This is all STANDARD CSX 2000-2125 Front caliper construction, NOT RACE MODIFIED! TR3A’s use the same Girling caliper and pad design. YES, I have searched the Triumph websites.

All I can find are STREET pads. Who provides race pads for this early caliper design, and what compound would you recommend that provides good fade resistance, but doesn’t eat up the discs??

THANK YOU in advance for any help!! I’ve worn out my Web search!! I don’t see a yellow or red pad made by EBC for the 1961 TR3A.
Best!! Pistachio Bob]
