Hi chaps,

just wondering if anyone on here works at a ford dealer and might have access to a brake disk to for me to check? or even a wrecker/someone who has dba etc in stock?

the reason why:
I kind of quite badly really need to check out the rear brake disks on an FG (i think... thats the new one? with 355 fronts and 330 rears?) or atleast get hold of the measurements. the reason i need to know is i just need to make sure of a measurement that isnt readily available on the net, the inside diameter of where the handbrake shoes are.

I am going down to SWB soon, however i have already hassled the shit out of bart with a million questions, and i kind of want to double check the measurements and just order the disks, to get the ball rolling.

DBA online catalog does not have this information, and i cant find shit on brembo's catalogs.



so if anyone has one i can compare my shitty standard tiny disk to plz let me know.

You mean the centre hole measurement thats on there? or the inner diameter of the rotor face?

The inner diameter where the handbrake shoes rub.

Premium brakes aren't those sizes

Only the brembos are

i thought brembos were the premium brakes...

i mean the brembos then, just going by what the dba online catalog spits out.

190mm on all models if I remember rightly

They didn't change the backing plates and handbrake shoes... just the disc and caliper
No premium/brembo handbrake... just povo spec on all cars
