If Pierre did, i will ask my connection if he will swop you for a set of crossdrilled and you just pay the difrence in, give me change say till so 8H30, I will phone him about 8H00 to find out. amd also what make of discs did Pierre bought for you

I know a STD Alfa ventilated disc in Newcastle goes for R105 and a solid disc goes for R95 but not sure of the other makes

You can get a kit from Goldwagen that contain the backplate bearings and hub for the front, then you just get a set of Grossdrilled discs (from me) and 2 gold1 front calipers

Beetle fanatic, my connettion say it is okay with him if it is okay with you, he just need to know what discs did you bought sothat he can work the price out

[Bugger]

Howdy Suz I bought the discs paid for them but they did not have stock so I cant even remember what they cost will just tell them they must keep them and will put money in your acc for discks just PM me your bank details then Pls and we will take it from there thanks

Well you take a set of disks choose a drill bit, take it over to the drill press, center punch your pattern onto them, drill away and hay presto you have crossdrilled disks...

Centre punch can cause cracks in disc's that you cant see and will develope bigger cracks as you use them.

left is different from right side, discs are marked for left use and for right hand use

Ja but you got 4 so the odd small crack wont be too bad....

[vader]

I think you can get front and rear disk kits from Cylinder head manufacturer in Jhb

Thanks FFF. It's a good start for a project.
