I have a Griff that was used by the factory as a development car so has a few non standard items on it, including a combination of Tuscan and Cerbera brakes I think.

The discs aren't in great shape so I think it's time to find some new ones but need help to identify which TVR they're from, if anyone can help

Fronts discs are, 5 stud fitment, ventilated, drilled, and 303-305mm diameter by 30mm thickness running with AP CP6600 TVR branded Calipers

Rear discs are, 5 stud fitment, ventilated, drilled, 305mm diameter by 21mm thickness with the internal drum handbrake setup (a flavour of Cerbera I believe)

Can anyone identify what TVR these are off and where I can get suitable replacement discs and pads please?

The Griff was never 5 stud standard but I expect they may be Ford Granada?

It's a popular conversion to swap the hubs on Chim / Griffs to allow the fitting of 5-stud wheels. I've never done it myself so can't help on dimensions.

Brembo's online catalogue can be helpful to identify brake discs from their dimensions:

Then select the dimensions tab to enter some basic sizes to lookup and that should give you a shortlist to filter through, you can even download a drawing of each design to compare to your parts.

Standard Tuscan fronts are 304 x 30 drilled discs with 5 x 114 Jeep Grand Cherokee hubs.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I've concluded they are standard Tuscan 304 by 30 fronts and 4.5 Cerbera rears, both available (on back order) from MotorClan.....

If you need them urgently, then do TVR Parts have them?

Cerbera rears are 23mm thick, by 306.
Fronts depend on which you have. Early cars like mine have vented 219mm x 30mm fronts, or the laters were 304mm x 30mm vented
