    ATE or Lucas Girling?

    What is the easiest way to find out which brakes I have? I have a 91 325 is cab.

    I am overseas, trying to order parts for a brake rebuild, and found there are different brake systems. Is there an easy way to tell which I have? I will be emailing my wife, so hopefully it is a really obvious visual indicator.

    Thanks in advance!

      Visually they are stamped either GIRLING or ATE. Should be pretty easy to spot :up:
