I'm in need of help for brake disc sizes for a conversion. Is there anything on-line to show diagrams of discs with sizes attached. Any help would be welcome as I'm in a bit of a pickle right now, as you can see

If I'm looking at it correctly that's quite an unusual disc in that it doesn't seem to have the "top hat" section, which implies it mounts on the inside of the hub rather than around the outside. If that's the case, you're pretty limited - they're the same on Viva / Firenza / Magnum, some Capris, some Renaults, but most easy-to-obtain discs sit on the outside of the hub.

I'm sure I had a link to something, or maybe it's a printed book, but I can't remember where. If I remember I'll post again.

OP, take full dimensions and contact the main manufacturers directly. They'll be able to make best suggestion for you. They may suggest an off-the-shelf disc to fit with spacer/slight mod to hub; see

Thanks for the replies - Jensen interceptor is the make but it's destined for a rover p5b - allthough available they are very expensive so I'm looking for a lower cost alternative. Not even sure about which calipers to use as the originals are of no use
Here is another pic

Try TRW, they have a very good technical team with big cross-reference database where you can give them car weights, speeds, inertias, friction material sizes etc + discs dimensions; see
