Default 997 GT3 Cup Clutch

Took the engine out today , on checking the clutch we found a 7inch Sachs unit on checking the service CD it says we should have a 5 1/2 clutch but does not say who the maker is on the CD
We are trying to find out when the thickness of the pads should be replaced
On the CD it says for the 5 1/2 2.2mm

7 inch lasts longer and is more forgiving.
​​​​5.5 will be Sachs, also a Tilton 5.5 available.

The 7 1/4 Tilton (which are what came on early Cup's) discs start at .104 and are replaced at .98
