Early MK1 Rear Discs

[Chequred Demon]

I think my rear discs are getting a bit thin.

I know the fronts have been upgraded, but not sure about the rears as the fronts are drilled and the rears plain. The new TVR ones look very pricey.

I have peformed a search and it was intimated that the rears could be a Ford part? Does anyone know for certain if the rear discs are Ford and if so, which model ?

Cheers!

might be Ford Sierra. At least the brake pads are said to be, according to the alternative parts list: http://www.mytuscan.co.uk/alternativeparts.php

I understand the hubs are Jeep Cherokee and I don´t think the 5 stud fords are the same pcd. There was some discussion a while back on this topic but nothing definite came of it. The original solid discs were made by AP Racing IIRC.

Thanks guys.

It appears that the calipers are Ford (Granada?) but the discs were made for TVR by AP.

Being an early car the rears on mine are solid, I believe later rear discs were drilled?

So £150 per side it will have to be!

Chimaera rear discs are from Sierra xr4/cosworth 2wd and mk3 granada, possibly the early Tuscan are the same. If you measure total size across, how many studs and internal diameter across i will measure my Saphire Cosworth rear discs and compare.

I have a chimaera as well and I believe they are a different stud fitting?

I was going to put the old tuscan 16 inch spiders on the Chimeara and was informed that I would need an adapter to make them fit, supplied by a company who I met at ROAR 08, who's name I don't have to hand. I remember the conversion cost about £350 though and they needed to machine some bits.

The rear disc is integral with the 5 stud hub, so I don't think there is much chance it will fit.

My Chim is 1996 and has 4 stud is the reason behind last thread. was'nt sure how many studs the early Tuscans had, However I think all the Tuscan mk1's still use the above same rear caliper from the Ford.
Good luck mate!
