A multitude of components is compatible with diverse models. I often see instances where Aston components priced at hundreds of pounds are identical to Ford parts that cost £15.
Manufacturers do not produce these components; they design in accordance with market availability.
Consider bulbs, O-rings, oil filters, and, of course, brake pads.
At the age of 18, I purchased brake pads for my 3.0 litre Capri.
The cost was £25. The pads were same for both the 2-liter and the 1.6-liter models.
However, priced at £20 and £12, respectively. Identical pads, identical box, different number; they were also compatible with Granada and Cortina models.
Another client, a self-employed mechanic, found amusement in my uninformed purchase.
