Note picture is for interest only!!
The kit will comprise of two discs two brackets and two concentric rings 4 x 40mm cap head screws and the correct M12 flanged head screws x4. The discs are drilled and grooved or you can have plain discs, call for this cheaper option.
After several years of this product not being available I have instigated the re-manufacture of this kit. The discs are Black Diamond which have an enviable reputation for quality and I have used them for over 15 years without any issues.
The brackets are CNC machined with stainless steel helicoil inserts and anodised for corrosion protection. The kit will have the concentric ring to enable a perfect fit to the hub.
Why fit bigger brakes?? I first realised that the MGF was lacking in the brakes department when I first bought one in 1995..for town and traffic driving they were 'adequete' but for any spirited driving, track or touring use they do need better brakes and to keep up with more modern cars. The brakes were basically Metro which were OK for a Metro but not for the MGF.
I developed a bigger brake system and a 4 pot caliper before MG/Rover comissioned AP to supply the AP 4 pot system for the Trophy in 2001.See picture.
The AP brakes require certain 16" wheels so they become an expensive option. The 280 mm disc fits under the stock 15" wheel and provides better leverage on the disc.
I would recommend a couple of other upgrades such as the brake servo brace and stainless braided hoses with fresh fluid at the same time.
The Black Diamond pads offer a better quality pad and improved braking. In addition I am looking at making the Fast Track pads for front and rear stock calipers which would improve braking even further.
