Racing Green 322mm discs

[Toady1]

Has anyone fitted these opposed to the standard AP Racing items? They are about £80 cheaper for the set, but knowing how good AP stuff is.....are RG's ones as good? I don't want to buy them if they're not as good, especially as I've just put some brand new AP discs on the pads.

I run these

they are light and cool well (on ali bells)

got p/ssed off with AP when they would,nt sell me a small part for one of there famous S6 clutch covers, the guy suggested i bought a complete clutch, so i did a ford/Sachs one and never looked back

also if you play around with pedal ratio you can get the feel how you like it, my car the pedal was to short for me when i first got it

Anyone used these discs? Seem to be a decent price.

They look like good replacements for the red rose ally bell type discs but I've got an S with the standard 322mm discs. I rang up RG earlier and was told that the AP discs have curved vanes and so should be sided, but TVR only had them make to one disc so the vanes run one way on one side and the other way on the other, therefore have uneven cooling! So they've made their discs with straight vanes to alleviate this problem. They say they are made out of the same 'usual' cast iron as what AP will use, and haven't had one back out of hundreds they've sold/fitted for warping or any problems. So...at £140 a side I'll most likely be going for these. If I had ally bells (which imo looks so much better) then I'd be going for something like you guys listed above.

Two questions....

1) to convert from Sagaris/Tuscan S one-piece AP disc (322x28mm) to these 330x28mm disc, what bell specification is required ??
2) are you saying you don;t have an AP clutch with a SP6 engine and there is a better solution ??

My bells came off a damaged TVR, I know they are jeep 5 x 4 1/2" bolt pattern and 12 bolt AP style rotor fixing, but not 100% sure of offset


Dont forget the Ali bells are thicker on the wheel face, this has big effect on T cars


I run an LSx 5.7 with a T56 box

Thanks Andy I'll give them a ring tomo as I thought that RG had bought out clever trevor, so they may actually be the exact same disc! Good find! another £30 saved!

They are exactly the same disc! . Also try it on a bit as they also give a 10% discount for TVR club members... I'm not a member but argued the case and managed to get 5% off
