It's how a few cars do it, including Landrover with a transmission brake.

Its an extra chucky hand brake

Some how I dont think the rover vented disc's would fit in the calipers, its hard enough to get standard disc's between new pads.

Hmm its worth a go to see I can knock a set up,

I quoted the vented because I'm thinking of 262 fronts. BUT
There's a solid option too:yesnod:

And a quick question:- would the same brackets suit front and back?

Oooh. The parcel has arrived.

Only disappointment is I am not sure what he meant by "OEM" discs, as they are Ford Focus ST170 discs and aren't even ford parts. Not a great deal, but why do people say things that aren't true? I enquired about the discs and the reply was "All discs supplied are OEM (original equipment manufacturer) for assurance of quality and precision".

Why are you disappointed ? They look nice ! You could see in the ebay picture the disks had the 4 stud holes enlarged. They all work like this (Mike Satur, VHS, ...) What can be wrong with a metal disk anyway Still waiting for my plain disks but they are made to special order so it might take some time

I advise to spray the centers heat resistant black before mouting, The excess paint will be braked off nicely and it will protect the centers from rust.

Just because they said OEM and the manufacturer is a Chinese company. Do they make the discs for Ford?

I was thinking of the painting thing, but I was thinking of silver heat resistant paint.

Perhaps it's the new OEM supplier for the LE500

Never having fitted grooved discs, is the top one the nearside disc?

Isn't the top one the offside disc?

Top one is the right disk I think.

I don't know. That's why I asked.

Top is driver side, dont think I've got any pics of mine, but the part of the goove nearest the hub should be clockwise of the outer each of the groove

PS could you measure the blocks up before you fit them

cheers

Jon
