Terry
Thanks for that.
The real issue i think is the "B" measurement cos of the way it interacts with the caliper mounts.. If the offset (?) is wrong, its hard to change it.. So i figure if B is fairly close the rest can be easily done in any decent workshop. The A measurement of 262.5mm  I think i can live with, until i see how the pads contact. At the moment the pads working right to the edge of the disc. Whats the law about the swept area?
So many people have been telling me about 144 VENTED discs that i believe the DBA catalogue is probly wrong.
cheers
Mick

The front brakes/struts are from the blue car. Toby got the R31 rear end
[Terry Rudd] As you know i've seen them on the blue car, it somehow looks different on the yellow car
 
The 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 = 68
According to the book no 144's had vented discs....Will DBA supply blanks? or could i specify datto stud holes??
[Terry Rudd] No 144's had vented discs? - mine were vented, the DBA catalog must be wrong or there's another disc on some 144's. It says ATE brakes, i wonder if that's a brand? DBA will supply blank discs, i've never tried to get any drilled with another bolt pattern but most brake places can do that. Anyone with a good drill press can do it too.
 
Your discs are similar to:
DBA241 except A 256 and B 49mm
DBA617 except B 49mm
I've searched the catalogue for all of the 68mm centre hole discs and didn't come up with much, chances are it's off something imported.

Terry
 
And of course credit for all the clever stuff goes to Paul Williamson here on the gold coast..

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?
 
regards
Terry

Hi
For some time people have been asking me about my 4spot brakes and i been promising to post some pics. Well i finally worked out how to scan a pic that doesn't end up being a 1.5MB file ie too big for the webpage, and now there are some pics to look at.
 
Go to Photos 3 page
 
I'd be interested in your reactions to some of my comments on the setup
cheers
Mick
