The motor factors I got miy pads from actually had the Chim listed! Turns out they're Escort cosworth and I believe late model Sierra cosworth....

The 273mm dia x 20mm thick rear vented disc is from an Escort Cosworth 4x4, dont know about the Sierra reference. My Motor factor provided Quinton Hazell branded discs for my Griff (94 MY) under part number BDC 3807, cost about £18+VAT each.

Hi Nick, Have just fitted rear discs and pads to my 96 chim
But can not find the paper work at this moment ..
But most of the details were gleamed from the search function above
Entered brake or disc + chim +all dates mine were of a sierra cossi
4X4 vented
But the main thing with tvr’s is they may not all be the same,
Best to take the parts in to check with the motor factors list,
The cost was £78 for two discs and pads with vat.
If you are fitting them your self you will need a tool to wind back the
Piston.

You can wind the piston back in using care and an open set of long-nose pliers. The problem i had was physically getting the rear calipers off the rear uprights. If they're fixed with lock-tighted allen bolts access to the upper bolts will be a challenge, and mine were so tight i had to get some help and have the heads cut off....

I had the same problem as paul , but used a extension bar on the allen key helped,the allen key is sprung steel and using a hammer is no use,goes with a crack when it goes and you think you have snapped the bolt.also I cut down an allen key to make it fit better.
