Campy skeleton brake pad compatibility

[Honey]

My understanding of brake pads has never been good. I have some old (2008) skeleton brakes that need new pads, is there a doc / chart / some other way to understand what works as a pad replacement and what doesn't.

There are few things I understand less than brake pad compatibility

CAM-BR-SR500 should be the P/N you're looking for, if using aluminum rims.

Anything after 2000 with Campagnolo will work, while the pad retention system has changed, the holders after 2000 have remained the same shape.

I had a related question: are there any swisstop/koolstop pads that are cross-compatible with these brakes?

Unrelated to the OP's question, but if you use the above filter be aware that Chorus 12 calipers use Shimano style pads. The last time I looked at SwissStop's site they didn't seem to know that.

The Support Documentation section of the Campagnolo web site is very good, and includes spare parts catalogs going back to 1993. Here's the Support Documentation section:

And here's the section of the 2008 spare parts catalog that shows the part numbers for the skeleton brake pads:
