Reyland seem to do 304, but not 320, or have I got that wrong?
They do 320x28 and 324x30Standard discs are 322x30?
Worth an ask over the right size?

Thanks both, I'll have to measure up the bells, hopefully they are 8" pcd, as that seems to give the most choice. Fortunately I have the 6 bolt AP5200, so that makes things easier too.
Only costs £15 for a pair of spacers to run 330mmx30 discs then.. Reyland do that size.Jhonno said:

That is tempting, I've checked and the bells are 8" pcd (I think they are the early 4.5 bells)Another option would be 32mm, as the CP5200 specs do say 32mm max.
Looks like it would be tight though (these are 30mm discs)
Reyland is a good company, and I've made use of them for having a set of bells made. It was as painless a procedure as can be, communication was great and the finished product left nothing to be desired. Big thumbs up for them.
However, there *is* still a difference between the Reyland (and AP) rotors and Tarox ones from the Racing/Bespoke catalogue - the Reyland ones are grey cast iron while Tarox offers billet steel discs. Even the 'normal', hand finished cast iron discs from the standard replacement catalogue have proven to be pretty much indestructible, these go one better and the 322 mm discs are the same weight as a Reyland 5-bolt TVR bell/disc combo of 304 mm (it's not the bells - I've used the same with a 315 mm Tarox Racing disc and with AP Racing bolts they came in at 7.0 kg while the Reyland 304 weighed 7.9 kg).
So far I put two sets of Tarox Cerbera 2-piece discs on cars and while the last still needs to go on the road, the first was on a car that was being driven so hard on illegal runs in the Rotterdam harbour district (Maasvlakte) that it melted the standard front brakes (cylinders stuck solid in the callipers, destroying the discs in the process), since upgrading to the Tarox 322 mm set up with new TVR/AP callipers and Ferodo DS2500 there were no problems reported anymore.
Tarox discs are expensive - but the best always is.

I cleaned up the mating surfaces but didn't get the discs skimmed, instead I let a used set of pads clean up the friction surface
I did two days at the Ring last week and the discs worked great, not sure how long the next set of pads will last though, but a free pair of Tarox discs was a real result
