I have just ordered a set, looks good to me, will let you know what they are like when I got them, initially only for the off roader, as Slindon mud has trashed the lot, I have spare disks but well rusty and no pads, as my local factors want over £30 for a set this deal looks good, Rick

milner 4x4 thats where im getting my new discs from as soon as it warms up i did think about up rating them to fancy drilled and grooved but cant see the point as the originals do a decent job

 

[solarman216]

but they want £22 per disk so does not leave a lot for pads, Rick

No fella, the pads are down to the metal and fair to say the discs are shot but went to order some discs and pads the other day and i was told I need to find out if my calipers are Lucas or Akikbo ( or something of that name ).

I have only ever seen Lucas on the 5 chassis I have, not sure about Briggies old Mistral though, Rick

My caliper above looks to say Lucas though doesn't it ? Who got a mistral

I bought that set from ebay for £51 not saying they'll be the best but compared to how they where I think Flintstone style breaking would have been better lol
