I hate to ask but.... anyone written one off recently?

[V8Cerbera]

I'm being pretty mercenary here I know, BUT

4.2 Cerbera rear brake disks seem to be getting rarer than rockinghorse sh*te and I might need one fairly soon as the rear squeel on mine has been proven as not the pads and if a quick surface skim doesn't sort the disk then I'll need some more. So if any poor b*stard has had the misfortune to have lost their beloved cerb recently and has a set of rear disks going spare - I want them!

I may have a set soon.

What, are you doing an insurance job ?

No no! Will probably be getting a slightly different disc for the back of the race car.

[RUSSELLM]

I was going to make you an offer on the engine.

[itsallyellow]

I do have a 4.2 AJP for sale. Only done 27000. Can be seen running!!

mike

[RUSSELLM]

Only kidding Mike. Mines using too much oil, but I'll wait till I've got a few pennies spare & get it freshened up.

At least we crow barred a free advert in for you though.

[V8Cerbera]

Let me know if you do mike as I'm desparate to get rid of that awful noise every time I'm forced to use the middle pedal.

Does anyone have exact dimensions of the standard discs?

A friend of mine has a possible source for discs that may suit but needs the info to be spot on.

[V8Cerbera]

Sorry no.

I can't even get out and measure mine as I'm still sans cerb till the middle of next week.

I have a full set front & rear in my garage (97 4.2). They were not warped when they came off, but needed a good skim as the car had sat for a while before I got them. I decided to replace them all but the MAY be of use. Free to a good home if you collect. I am in Warwickshire.

Are there any alternatives?

Someone (Plasticman?) has fitted a set or oridinary TVR rear handbrake calipers and different disks. Better handbrake and 5Kg weight saving each corner apparently.

Or I was thinking about something like this, with off the shelf disks and bells.

Plasticman has also been toying with motorbike rear brakes.

If you can hold 'em till I get mine back from the re-spray (probably this time next week) then I'll come and see you mate.

[jon h]

No worries. I will try and remember to get some digital shots of them, so you can see what state they are in before coming all the over. mail me and I will reply with pics attached in the next day or so.
