I need to change the rear pads on my '92 Griff, the rears have solid discs and not the vented type of the later cars.

I have been told that they might be sourced from a Granada or early Mondeo - I'm obviously not keen to rip the Griff apart on the off chance.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Andy.

It sounds like they're the same as the V8S (and early 4.0 Griffiths and Chimaeras) with a 250mm non-vented disc. If so, I think the discs from a Sierra P5 Estate will fit. But to be on the safe side, I'd suggest you take the old disc with you, or at least measure it and take the measurements with you. (You can measure the rotor without taking the brakes apart.)
