Default Just clarifying the Girling/ATE issue

On the label next to 'Brake' will be a number 1 or 2.
1= Girling
2= ATE.
Though, just to confuse matters this does depend on year model – (the label location may be elsewhere on different year models too).
76 & 77 year models codes relate to the rears, all fronts will be girling.
83 onwards #2 = Front Girling & rear ATE.
So a 1989 model labelled "1" would have Girling calipers all round, correct?
And Girling is now Lucas, and therefore Lucas pads will fit Girling calipers? (I wasn't aware of this but then neither did the guy from ECP when I asked which calipers a part would fit.)
Looking at a set of these for my fronts: http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Vo...f376b1b&000036
