Re: Brakes for a 1600

Strange how dba dont list the 144 as having vented disks as i have taken 4 spots off a vented disk model 144.I think the disks are still on the last one i raided and were 23mm thick.Its not the only 144 ive seen with vented disks.

Toby got the R31 rear endThe Holden/Volvo set up was supplied on the yellow car.Interesting that u say 144 volvo as I have been scouring the DBA Catalogue looking for something to fit. (Mine are so warped u wouldn't believe.) The closest thing I can find is a 740 series Volvo DBA685 FYI the original disc is A =257. B = 59, C&D =21, E = 68According to the book no 144's had vented discs....Will DBA supply blanks? or could i specify datto stud holes?? And of course credit for all the clever stuff goes to Paul Williamson here on the gold coast..cheersMick  ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 7:01 PM Subject: RE: Brakes for a 1600  Mick,Interesting setup. I looked up specs on your combination as I'm not familiar with Mazda stuff. Clever boy whoever pick that disc, it's perfect except for 5 holes which are only nuisance value to fix (buy blanks). The callipers certainly look like Pathfinder and I would guess off the V6 D21 for no special reason other than the Diesel brakes would not fit over the discs with new pads on.On the rear, Volvo 144 discs with HQ Holden callipers were very common on 1600 rally cars in the 80's, I had that on one of my cars.What happened to the brakes off the blue car?regardsTerry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of mick ralph Sent: Friday, 15 February 2002 3:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Brakes for a 1600   HiFor some time people have been asking me about my 4spot brakes and i been promising to post some pics.
