Granada 2.8 '72-'84. You might also need a caliper widening kit.

I wrote the article in the wedge pages but it was a while ago. The solid disc or vented disc is the first question to answer. If going for the vented then you need the widening kit. Your parts supplier will be able to tell you whether you are getting the vented or non vented disc. Good luck, I still think its one of the better enhancments I did to my 350.
