Title: Vented Brake Discs
Post by johnv on Jan 16^th, 2005, 5:39pm

Now where is that chap gone, the expert on grovey, vented brake disc.
They are never around when you want them.
On Ebay item no 4517765313 there are some of these at £44.99 pair plus £10.99 postage.
My question is they would not be geniune Ford ones would they, because he saying he can get them for ALL cars.
As anyone else got them from him if not where do you get them from.
I mean if you are going to have to have new ones, you might as well up-grade at the same time, that's if they are any good.

Hey johnv,

I think these discs are made by the same people that made my ones (They are made by Motorsport Tuning & Engineering Company).

Mine should be here wed/thur and I'll be glad to post any issues, good or bad I find.

Personally I'd shy away from "drilled" discs. Most motorcycles have these fitted and I have seen many that have cracked accross the holes, before they have worn to service limmit :o (heat dispersion problems I think).

I got the phone number of my guy in Belfast, PM me if you want it, 4 grooved discs 100.48 deliverd.

HTH

Waders.

thanks to waders for telling me to keep away from the drilled ones.
That will save me from making an mistake in getting them.
All my cars have had replacement discs to front to get rid of slight juddering under light brakeing, which in deed it did get rid of that problem.
So I think I will stay with them as they are new.
There are people on this site that seem to know more than main dealers, real great for them to give advice to others.
Thanks to Waders again.
