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

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 :wink:

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.

Not much encouragement there for the younger generation. Why does a legitimate question have to ellicit a response like this? Totally unnecessary IMO.
