Range Rover Front Discs for AP Six pot on CV8

[91964]

Just completed this job and info was sketchy from various threads, this info relates to 2004 CV8 on original 18" wheels, might differ for later hubs.

Copied from my thread

The discs are part number MDC1941. They are 360x30mm rather than 362x32. This isn't a problem and pad still makes full contact.
The issue is that you need to make a centre Spiggot to fit between the hub And the disc (71.5mm to just a thou under 79mm and 7mm thick) I also made a set of ten 7mm deep spacers to slide over the 12mm studs to take them to 16mm of the Range Rover
Another potential issue is the mounting surface is 2mm thinner than the AP so if your wheels are close it could make it worse, it's definitely the case for the cv8 18x8 rims. I Had a pair of 3mm shims so popped them on until I get my new wheels


Now done 100 miles on them and all is well, please accept this information as my story only. Others may disagree with method and or spec.

Good work! Decent saving over other front discs available. Personally I haven't the equipment or skills to attempt this.

What are your rear discs like, think they're a whole different ball game being a 1 piece.

Thankfully the rears are new. Now car is garaged and only a couple of thousand dry use miles a year it should be the last brake related job for a while.......I hope!

Hi all, just an update. Having now covered 1000 miles on these discs I can confirm they are very good! Nice and progressive for most of the time but more than powerful enough when needed (I drive this car very enthusiastically but in general I'm not heavy on the brakes) and all for around £100 a pair.

Sounds good. Where did you get the spigot and spacers made?

[91964]

The stud spacers were cut from steel tubing but the centre hub spacers had to be milled from scratch (my father in law did these for me as he has the gear to do it) it's a bit of a pain if you have to find a company to do these but once you have them it's cheap discs for life
