My "accidental rebuild" is complete
(pics coming to separate thread quite soon) - or at least I thought it was.
Took it for a quick spin round block (ahem, closed private roads) to make sure it was all running properly before getting insurance, tax etc, and discovered that the brakes were even worse than my R80/7 (with twin ATE swinging calipers)
Combination of 23 year old rubber hose, unevenly worn ancient disc and (possibly) rubbish pads, means the stopping power is shockingly bad. I know they're bad enough to start with, but this is much worse (and, yes, I did bleed them thoroughly...)
Anyway, I saw that MW had a secondhand 320mm stainless disc upgrade kit on ebay over weekend which failed to meet its reserve, so called them yesterday, bought it at their reserve price and it arrived this morning.
Hel braided hose will arrive shortly hopefully.
Master cyl is fine, so that just leaves the pads for investigation/replacement.
What are recommended and what are to be avoided at all costs?

Well done
No need to worry about them wareing out your disc either. The extra braking caperbility vastly out weighs any really minor increase in ware to the disc, which you are unlikely to notice anyway.
