I'd forgotten about the pad bolt sizes.

We had both sizes over the years.
Tried to drill (oversise) a set of pads and failed miserably. The steel was just too hard.

Have a man checking sizes of D7c as they had 36 links, same as Fowler, where D7d had 37 links. He thinks they may have had smaller bolts. Waiting for reply. Nigel.
