Give them a ring, they are very good to talk with, and you can then get exactly what you need?

I called. He didn't know and wanted to see an example pad

I see two different measurements from different sources
55.5*53.5
55.8*51.9
One quoted the width as 14.8

Now someone from FB is saying D31. Which equals 62*56mm

Here is a set of new Mintex pads for a 914 off the shelf of my old local VW/Porsche dealer in Farnham. I also have a set mad by Textar from the same source. They measure 55.7mm wide x 53.2mm tall (to top of 'ears') x 14.7mm thick. Some 914 pads have round holes, some have square - you can use either, but may need to drill out the holes on the square ones for the pin to fit (as I did on my CL RC6 race pads).
PS – you're welcome to either set if you want them.

Thank you but I'm keen to try some CL 5s to see if my braking improves

I finally had a go at fitting my brake pads and the ones I ordered are too small

I just reread Keith information about the top of the eyes. I didn't measure mine there so maybe I just need to drill my holes a bit wider?
