So if i order a set of 2003 Meriva TDCi 1.7TD 280x25mm 4 stud discs.
They will fit straight onto 4 stud nova hubs with vectra V6 calipers and pads?
thats what page 1 says.

Well, they are 4 stud, WIN. 60mm centre bore, WIN. And of a large diameter, WIN. Order them up. If they dont fit return them. Simples.
Ill have to ask if i can return them if they dont fit. Meanwhile ill wait and see if anyones got experience of using them
I'd be confident they'd fit. If you get no joy, sling them on ebay :)
i doubt peeps say they fit when they dont...
well ive ordered some they cost 18 pounds each ill let you all know if they fit.
Just picked my discs up and i can confirm theyre a straight fit!
but for some reason the pads are really tight up against the discs im working on a fix for it.
you have to shave the pads down a bit. http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=155348
cheers ill trry it. I got moffat to make that thread for me so i could get info and already read it, ill try it and report back
That will probably be down to the height of the discs being different, so they sit a little off centre.Quote:

Its something with the thickness, i had to squeeze them into the calipers, but theyre 25mm and the vectra discs are 25mm but theyre tight as ** for some reason
No, I mean the overall height (as in the back of the disc to the front of the mounting face).
Meriva is 43.2mm and Vectra is 42mm, then consider than a Nova is 41mm - so the back of the disc is 2.2mm further inboard when using Meriva discs on a Nova hub.
....at least I think I've got that right lol Does it hit the inboard pad? I'll go look at some dimensions in a min and see how things all size up.
[edit] Then there's differences in the calipers too I believe - what car & year did they come off? They should have a number stamped on them, are you able to see it?
Is it worth adding that mavira 280mm 4 stud disks fit too?
thats what theyre talking about Scott
Which one of these do your pads look like?
