Disc's

[taff_o]

Does anyone know the original part number for the solid discs that I believe came from a 2.8 Mk2 Granada that are fitted to my 350i?

Go to the top of the wedge pages home page, click on maintenance then parts you'll find a lot of spares numbers there. Front discs are Unipart FDB167.

This is why I asked I've got a Unipart number of GBD109, but that 167 is more like it.
Cheers, thanks for that again.

Also reported as Unipart GBD109 (but might be for earlier models).

Good sites to check donor vehicles and (possible) part numbers are:

* www.tvrwedgepages.co.uk/
* www.bress.freeserve.co.uk/wedge/maint_parts.html
* www.soi.city.ac.uk/~nick/tvr/tas_alt_pts_lst.html

My suggestion is, wherever practical, to take the original part with you to check.

Alternativly go to Ford / parts factor and ask for a 2.3 1984 Mk2 granada disc?
Alternativly take to opportunity to fit 2.8 Granny parts - vented discs and bigger pads with bigger calipers, a vast improvement on mine.

Matt - interested in your comment about the conversion to 2.8 brakes as I'm very seriously considering doing exactly that myself. Am I correct in assuming that this really is a straight replacement job or did you need to get any parts made up / modified etc? Also, don't suppose you have any details of part nos. and rough prices etc. do you?

[taff_o]

I've just bought a set of Combi disc's today, I'll let you know how they go on, when they arrive.
I found this site if it's any good, for anyone else.

I haven't got any part numbers but you'll need the wider calipers and vented discs from the 2.8, estate or injection model again 1984 MkII granada.
They do just bolt striaight on to your existing hubs and uprights but will have to modify the backplate to clear the caliper ( 5 minutes work with tin-snips, files etc)

The piston in the caliper is the same size as the 2.3 caliper but the pad is larger so the increased area provides more friction ( same principle as tyres where the pad 'bonds' to the disc) but the as the piston is the same size you won't upset the hydraulic balance. basicaly an easy and effective upgrade and what was fitted to some 400's
