92 griff brakes

can anyone tell me what the front and rear disks are from on my car

On early Griffs I think the front discs are off the Ford Fiesta Diesel van nice if someone in the know could confirm this?

I've used a sierra haynes manual for the 'how to do it bit'. You'll have to measure the disc dia as there are 2 distinct sizes fitted.

Yes and no. The problem, as described in the bible, is that the uprights and discs were supplied as a set and as a result the discs varied some fit and some don't. Measuring the originals and the replacements is the ONLY way of ensuring that you have got the right parts. A disc that fits one car may not fit another. TVR even drilled/machined some discs as well.

TVR have quoted about 10 different variations/sizes/combinations over the years...

And the offset as there is only about 1-2 mm clearnace with the calliper and many offsets out there. Get this wrong and the disc will bind on the calliper with potentially fatal results.
