I need help I've ordered rear discs and pads and the discs are 239mm, I just measured mine (with the wheel still on) and i'am sure there 239 but i've read there supposed to be 260?

iirc=if I recall correctly.

They should be 260, it's possible someone has fitted the wrong discs in the past, do the pads look as if they are making even contact with the disc.

livewire1888 12-08-12 02:56 PM

oh right mate cheers lol

the pads seem to be wearing in the middle, I took a photo on my phone but i'am not sure how to upload lol.

livewire1888 12-08-12 02:59 PM

I've created an album and uploaded the photos to there, I'am sure you could be right.

Something doesn't look right in your disc pic, they should have equal wear across the whole face of the disc, I'll post a pic for comparison.

Researching further on Ebay etc. it says the 180's with Akebono brakes have 239 discs at the rear. :-/
This is causing some confusion lol, I suppose Akebono is a brand cause I posted a question about this the other day and other members say theirs is Lucas etc. What a minefield? lol

Akebono is a Japanese manufacturer of brakes, the Jap equivalent of Lucas and Girling.

livewire1888 12-08-12 03:26 PM

Yeah a see what you mean.

Am done with this lol, the garage can sort it out next time. haha

I posted a link to the discs I was looking at on Ebay on the "brakes" thread.

livewire1888 12-08-12 03:28 PM

Would the manufacturer be scribed on the caliper or something?

And thanks a million for all your help Petet16.
