Its easy when you know how,

to convert standard calipers to vented you need a set o spacers,which strangely enough ive found you cant source them now,luckily my faithur bought a set years ago "just in case" so doing a wee deal to get a big brake set

Or  you could buy the proper calipers and vented discs, if you can't find the spacers...

The vented disks were fittred to Rab=nge rovers but had dual circuti hydraulics, I don't know if they were fitted to Disco or not, but here's an idea.  Apparently the disks were used on V8 CSW but had a bigger calliper, Bearmach I'm told do a kit for a brake upgrade :D

Just had a quick squint at their catalogue, but can't see the spacer kit.
Maybe its something they don't advertise   :?

Maybe a trip to a scrappy is on the cards & buy a piston & seal kit

I don't think the 4.2 is any different from a 3.9 RRC but both will be dual circuit.

Do the disks make much difference with the pads, I've fitted the pads on their own and they aren't that much different.

Anyone know if the Mintex ones stand up as well as the EBC?

IIRC it's only the soft-dash thats 24 spline, but the 4.2 is a nice lump.

Unfortunately the one I bought recently doesn't have the 4.2, it was swapped for a brand new lump.

It's a 4.6

Oh damn :twisted:
