Upgrade to my TR7

[stevie]

Last week I got a wee present for my car

A new set of EBC Vented,Dimpled and grooved front Discs and EBC Green stuff pads






My car has already been converted to Ford Capri 2.8 i calipers and discs

but unforchantly they have developed a warp in them so before I go down to the NEC I am going to fit these

as soon as the post men stop striking and get them to me

I will keep you informed when I come to fit them

Look what came in the post today ...


MMMMMmmmmm Nice




But a queston im not sure if the grooves curve backwards or forwards

I googled for some piccies but found images of them fitted both ways

what do you think

[stevie]

Just found this on the EBC website

Direction of Rotation of EBC Turbo Groove Rotors

EBC Turbo Groove and Spotty Discs are directional “LEFT and RIGHT” which is nearside and offside of your vehicle. The spotted pattern and the sweeping grooves should be pointing to the rear of the vehicle.

See it is good to talk and ask questions..

An update

I stripped the discs off the other day this photo you can see the wheel spacers



I have now got the hub stripped down and off the car

released the 4 hex bolts attaching the disk to the hub conversion

removed the old disk

cleaned the hub spacer to get good contact with the new disc

and this one the you can see the components to be removed (ford Capri 2.8 i discs and calipers)



This is the hub off the car you can see the 4 hex bolts and the aluminum conversion spacer







Now the bad bits

The new disks did not fit the centre hole was about 1 to 2mm to small to fit ... :evil:

at the moment they are at my mates work getting the hole enlarged to make it fit

will put up a photo of the completed disc when finished
