Brake Disk Identification
JimSpencer - 2/1/07 at 08:32 AM

Hello All

Need some help, looking for somewhere where you can identify the origins of a brake disk.
i.e. Input the dimensions of what you have and it'll tell you what it is.

Tried walking into the local parts people with Disk in hand but unless I can get to a part number or make/model of car then they can't help?

Bit of a long shot really unless you have got a starting point - is it Ford? What is the pcd of the stud holes?

Post a picture of it and more than likel someone might be able to identify it for you.

i used a brembo brake catalogue, which was kindly lent to me by my local motorfactors, i needed to find a disk a certain size to use on my rear axle as the originals were too small causing the caliper to hit the axle brackets.
the book states all the dimensions of the disks and drums. i ended up using a renault laguna rear disk which needed slight machining on the diameter.
the place i got the book from are a small family run business and have always been really helpfull and understanding, unlike the big motorfactors who just dont want to know.
what size disk you looking for?
