Hi,

Just received a couple of cast iron discs bought from fleabay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=7950902787

Having got hold of them there's two questions:

1) Why don't they rust when I run water over them like mine do on my SL?

2) Did brembo ever make cast iron discs with steel carriers, because these definitely aren't alloy?

The discs are in really good nick, with virtually no wear, although they are a little on the blue side. I'm aware that brembo also did a high-carbon iron disc but, again, I thought it came on an alloy carrier.

Help, I'm confused!!

Cheers,

Ali

don't want to be the bearer of bad news but they don't look like cast iron discs to me.
look like standard alloy with those carriers

That's what I was thinking.....

Weight is 1950g per disc/carrier.

mine rust as soon as it gets cloudy

sorry Keefer is correct they are standard discs as fitted to 916/748 SS and Monsters etc with steel carriers

P.S £107 each plus vat for New ones

I think a message to ebay and the seller of the discs.

Yep Ali..im with the other guys...the discs themselves also have the standard drill pattern (see attached for comparison).

The only other version of a cast iron brembo disc ive seen is the hard anodised race version which has a greeny coloured carrier.

Im sure youll get it sorted mate..good luck

The guy has accepted full responsibility, grovelled, and is refunding the full price plus postage. Seems a genuine mistake so no harm done.

What pads are you using with the cast irons? I could only get hold of sinterteds suitable for stainless, but at £45 pair I'm not sure I can afford to change!

Gorra set of genuine cast iron discs if you are still interested.
