Vesrah road compound with standard discs.
Sintered pads generally more suitable for more modern stuff.

My local bike shop sell them.
I think they are supllied to the trade by Bickers.
Bickers may have a list of suppliers near to you,so ask 'em.

I've used to run EBC Sintered HH and have to say, except for the spongy feel of those old brakes, they were suddenly on par when it comes to stopping power with the new stuff, e.g. Tokico 6-pots.

Now I've converted a set of twin-pot floating calipers, but really just for the brake being more controllable.

Cheers,
Greg
There's no replacement for displacement!
