300mm discs

[clive f]

can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier for 300mm brake discs that will fit the front of the griff??

Apec list a 300mmx24mm 4 stud Ford focus one,part no DSK 2185.It has a total height of 44.7mm though,so dont know if you could make this fit?It's the only Ford fitment 300mm one they list.
Thanks for the further pics by the way

cheers Mike, so I take it with a reduced hieght, as the standard I think are either 53 or 58mm, then the disc will then be further away from the caliper mounting points on the hub.

yeh it'll be something like focus st170 or similar. I looked into it a while ago for the S but stayed with the 260mm discs as ive never had a problem with them.

The disk will be further outboard,or to put it another way,closer to the wheel spokes.It wouldn't usually be too much of a problem as you could just space the calipers further out to reach,but at 300mm dia you might find that that little bit further in that direction then makes the caliper touch the inside of the wheel rim?
I reckon you might have to go to bell and rotor,unless you get the 16" front wheels,it'll certainly be close.My Alcon calipers are very close to the 15" rim,and thats with 295mm disc and std disc spacing,i dont know if these claipers are slimmer or thicker than your AP ones,though.

thanks for the info guys, I`ve got some 16" wheels to go on, and the spokes dont look to be as deep as the Estorils, I`ll have to put one on the car and have a measure up before I go to far.

I ‘m looking at doing the same and had my eye on these.



I’m not sure which TVR they’re off but are Brembo and supposed to go with a 300 X 24 disk.

Anyone fitted a set of these and what was the result?

[dnb]

I wonder if there is an AP or Brembo disc-and-bell set that could be used?

BTW Clive do you have a spare hub that doesn't have brakes on it at the moment? I looked in Cliftongrade/Jordans and they have no Sierras at the moment. I'd like to have a quick chat about my 324mm discs...

Compbrake, they bolt straight on and the offsets will be bang on for that bracket I sent you the drawing of. I have Powervane rotors on minewith ally bells.

[The AJP Griff]

Clive,i'll be giving you a call later.I'll find out the cost price of the Focus discs for you,as well

They look similar to the ones I had fitted, mine where ex tuscan and I thought used 28mm x 300mm , the sopping power is brilliant

I'm 99% certain my bells are ST170, but I'm sure they'll know what fits a Griff as they had my uprights there on the measuring table last winter.

cheers Rob.

Dave, no I haven`t got a spare hub.

[dnb]

I was looking for a hub so I could measure up the parts for my brake conversion. There appear to be none around locally that aren't in use!

[dnb]

Probably right about the postage. Where abouts in the country are you? (email my profile address if you prefer) I'm going to be on the mainland at the weekend...
