Looks like I'm gonna need rear brake discs soon...are they still readily available and where is the best place to obtain them? Cheers.

Thanks. Why the different sizes and does having a 24V make any difference to the size needed? Ta.

Maybe the extra 60bhp over the 2.3/2.9 12v necessitates bigger brakes 
Anti roll bars are also thicker I believe.

24V ones will also need the bigger 24V calipers as well? Not just a straight swap over?

Mine are standard and I'm not changing the calipers so is it the 273 mm for the rear? Ta

There is no 'author' for This article but I would guess it is Eric R or one of the founder members and it mentions 270mm ventilated discs. If it was Eric his was a 2.9 Cosworth.
Update And the full spec is Here
