If they are Lynx pads, I'd throw em away and buy Unifilter pads (LNX300 for SU and LNX400 for Weber). These are polyurethane foam, and come pre-oiled ready to fit. Under $10 each.

Lynx ones have more restriction, and catch fire if not oiled (the oil has a flame retardant). They also crumble and fall to bits much sooner.

If you don't oil foam filters they are just rock catchers, as the dust goes through them.

You can also buy them direct from unifilter up the central coast and they will post them to you; or one of their sydney distributors. There is a listing off their website.

Sounds like it if the holes are around 1.5".
If they are new can't you exchange them??

The filter pads are all the same size though.
