brake disc

[newbie]

Hi all, does anyone know which discs will fit a nova gsi with a 288 diameter, cant find any with 4 holes, any help will be appreciated, thanks all :confused:

I may be wrong but I thought Fiat Coupe Turbo ones fitted. LMF used to do four stud discs.

The Fiat ones are slightly off with hols, you need to drill them out slightly, and there a 22mm thick disc, and most vauxhall ones are 24/25 iirc so when they ware down the pads the piston reaches its limit quicker.
I use to have v6 calipers with the 284mm fiat set up.

I looked for a cheap alternative to use once I needed to replace the disks, I found some 280mm ones In four stud for a mariva, there about £60 a set on ebay.

Just use redrilled 5stud discs?

[maddogdaz666]

Meriva disks are 280 mm and use v6 or cav turbo callipers.

Thanks everyone for the replys, i had a think, contacted LMF, they sell a 288 brake upgrade kit for the nova and other models, they sold me a set of discs, cost a bit more, but less messing about, 89.95 posted, think ive got all i need to finish my project, just need to save for a respray now, and then will join and put some pics up, thanks again all

Are the LMF ones 5 stud redrilled to 4?

I used Lotus Elise S2 discs.

They fit perfectly in every way, other than the centre bore being about 2mm too big, so to keep the disc central, all you need is some tube, 14mm o/d, 12mm i/d

This centralises the disc perfectly :) Lotus discs are 1mm thicker and 1mm deeper but there is (just) enough clearance still.

That's not the centre bore you're sleeving, and it's not the job of the wheel nuts to centralise the disc, you need some brake spigot rings ideally. You can't drill holes on a PCD to the same kind of tolerance as you can machine something, so spigots will be more accurate... have you got any kind of vibration at all?

MK999 your post is confusing, what does the centralising of the wheel have to do with his brake discs?

[MK999]

Good point, I need to sleep more... edited :p

[andy_mk3]

I was told to do that my a friend of mine who was told the same thing by a motorsport company, he's not had any issues! :)

I would get a spogot ring but the gap is so tiny!

[MK999]

Fair enough, it's not quite as vital for brake discs to be fair, for some reason I was thinking of wheels when I saw it.

[andy_mk3]

I was more worried about getting the discs central, the clamping force sorts out the rest :)
