I have a question for someone hopefuly in the know.... I am after a set of BRAKE DISC 8.4"VENTED PAIR DRILLED AND GROOVED rotors for my soon to be metro setup on my moke and am after a part number from someone who makes the discs i have searched but being semi computer illeterite(how ever that is spelt) have found nothing. I have found them on mini specific suppliers but are way to over priced and was going to try getting them from a brake place direct, along with some green stuff pads. So any help will be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Dan

The ones from mini places are overpriced mostly because they are brought in from the mother-land. Local brake disc manufacturers (dba) dont make them since there's not enough demand.
I'd suggest either look at buying direct from England, or buying regular discs, and taking them to a brake place or machine shop to drill/slot them for you.
I've done the second way, did a custom slotting pattern that not every oter car has.

For bling Gordo or for purpose? Do you really vented, drilled, grooved discs on a moke? How much do a moke weigh, a buck 'o five?

4 spots from the mother land can be sourced quite easily and my suggestion is to just go with slotted rotors as the slotted and drilled dont last/wear as well. Just depends which UK mini place you want to source the parts from to who you speak to for the price. 8)
If you need more info PM me.....cheers
