The rear end was donated by a 97' Ford Falcon XR8. They are made locally by BTR engineering. The earlier rear ends had skinny discs about 11mm thick. They must have had a problem with warping or something because the new ones have 16mm thick discs. I had to buy two new discs so I figured I'd get the later ones and modify the calipers to suit. With all the holes I drilled in them they shouldn't be to much heavier. They are 285mm in diameter, the same as the front but the fronts are vented and 25mm thick.

Here is a shot of the rear end as it fell out of the back of the Falcon.



Cheers
