Tuscan 2 Front Disc

[buell man]

Does anyone know if the front disc were fitted to any other vehicle as they are not on the alternative parts list?..
Your help in this matter as usual is appreciated.

...No - sorry! They are a TVR one off from AJP Racing.

Yes AP Racing made specifically for the Tuscan originally, although there are a few people supplying their own sourced versions now, like Racing Green and CL Braking.

Also, buy AP and nothing else, if you use the performance of the car the "cheaper discs" warp at an alarming rate.

The car came in with a wobble under braking, after exhausting all the obvious I skimmed the discs as they were about 5 thou out (unknown brand, non OEM, 330mm and not drilled). Wobble disappeared but came back with a vengeance after about 300 miles, dialed the discs up and they have warped again.

Fitted genuine AP with ferrodo pads. No problems what so ever.

Grooved or plain? Bells or one piece?

+1 for that, just replaced the front discs on my MK1 S, I had the others skimmed twice (stacks of metal on them), each time an improvement but then fairly a rapid decline; culminated a few weeks ago when braking fairly gently at 100mph the steering wheel and column felt like it was about be be shaken loose.

TVR parts supplied me with AP racing discs, though not sure how you know the make as there is no obvious manufacturers branding on them.
