Brakes

Hi!,

Just wondered if you do your own work on the car or not. Do you have anymore specifics, than "think" or somebody told me, i.e. a measurement? Also, "squealing" does not indicate that you need new rotors, perhaps only new brake pads. If there is no grooving or warping of the rotor surface you only need to suface the rotor and put on some new pads.

From your description, You may have a wider caliper than a regular 1975. You may have an expanded '75 caliper or one from a BMW. Those us the Rekord E 24mm x 246mm vented rotor. The Rekord C has a 24mm x 271 mm vented rotor, but requires a larger four (4) piston caliper if you want a bigger brake option.

Good luck.

Brake rotors.

Hi Manny,

I've done a little research. The parts are still available in the UK for the 24mm x 271mm conversion made by several companies (ATE, Brembo, etc.). I had a set of the 24mm x 246mm rotors sent from the UK for set of expanded '75 calipers.

Let me know if I can help locate part numbers. Sounds like you have a few irons in the fire.

Good luck.
