Anyone happen to know how much lining material there is for the front brake pads for an '02 Astra 1.6 8-valve, when the pads a new?
 
I don't know the answer but the last time I heard a question like this was way back in the sixties.

It was a guy trying to make up a set of pads for his car from various cars in a scrap yard to save himself money............... So very NOT recommended
 
Thankyou - but that isn't the case here!

I would guess a teeny bit less than the gap between the caliper & the disc, less the backing plate etc - 12mm-ish?
