hey

i was out yesterday when i saw a 1980s holden barina, it had smaller discs than the civic and it looked like they fit the same way! does anyone know about these brakes, if they are suitable or not?

any help would be great

AFAIK know, 99% of discs fit in the same fashion

And also, don't be a tight twat and just do Civic discs or the real deal; Mini discs.

Keep reading those text books, Mr. 14

Well the 1985 MB/ML Barina had a 215mm dia disk with a 86mm hole up the guts so in theory you could fit it to a drum hub/flange. At only 10mm thick the thermal mass is very small and not being vented means poor cooling efficiency. The outer diameter could come down some and S studs to feed right through the whole disk and drive flange assembly. I've seen 211disks fitted to 10" wheels and as small as 76 hole in the middle (hub tapers to outer brg)

I was never impressed with the Honda setup and with some thought and effort you can come up with a cheaper easier option with better thermal and retardation effect (not the Barina set up though).

Good to hear at 14 you've got an interest in being a creator rather then a consumer. Try reading Hoverracer for inspiration.

PS Ignor people having cheap shots at you, it can be nothing more then an ego thing. Especially when they prove their ignorance when makeing 99% type statements.

besser agreed
(i'll get another nasty pm for this )
