johnpsanderson Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Looks like the front discs/pads need changing on my Ka. Trying to work out which size discs i need - but local parts supplier http://www.wilcodirect.co.uk/index.php?main_page=stores#WILN09 seem a bit vague on which discs i need. 54 plate KA is down as 20mm max / 18mm min discs (looks like earlier models had 12mm discs?). EBC lookup http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.com/car/ tells me i need 240mm diameter discs. Local supplier tells me i need to pick between 239.7mm dia (12mm), 239.5mm dia (22mm) or 258.2dia (20mm) discs.

johnpsanderson Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Thanks - helpful - but doesn't marry up with any of the options being offered by the supplier..! I may try elsewhere... Assume differences of less than 1mm on diameter are irrelevant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 239.5 dia (22mm) usually used by 1.3 engine 258.2 dia (20mm) usually used on 1.6 engine this could be the confusion at the supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
