Quickie front disc question

[v8sag]

Has any one a part number on the Ford OE front discs(260mm) for a 500,or if I can get hold of the EBC disc's down here is it part no D216 or D150?

Thanks in advance..Paul

Hi, EBC's (260mm size) for mine were TGD216, these are the grooved versions. Looks like the plain version is D216.

I've got these discs on mine, been on for about 5000 miles including about 4 trackdays. Good performance & make an interesting noise on application. However, on examination yesturday I noticed small radial hairline cracks 3-7mm long radiating around the disc. The pads are mintex 1144. The brakes do get very hot (in fact so hot that I can't touch the studs) on trackdays but have never let me down.

Thanks for that,theres no ebc grooved in the country,so have gone OE,one thing I can't understand,it appear's from trawling through a few threads,some of you have gone for the TGD150 other's TGD216,both 260 x 24,whats the the difference?

Accoding to the EBC catalog the difference is the hub height 150 = 53mm, 216 = 58mm. Not 100% sure but think you might need spacers with the 150 size?? Mine are 216 and fitted ok without spacers,
good luck, John

I think Johns correct about hub height
