Your car HBJ8 29432 should be fitted with Girling 16 brakes. (The brake
model is cast on the outside of the caliper).
The Girling 16 brake used 0.500 (12.7mm) in thick rotors. The minimum
thickness for your rotors, assuming that the correct brakes are still
fitted to the car, is 0.450 in (11.4 mm). If yours are less than 11mm I
would recommend new rotors."
I stand corrected...I went through my Haynes manual which is supposed to
cover through '68 but it did not list a difference for the later models. My
error
but I was confident someone would have the correct values or correct my
error.
Question, will the later brakes fit the earleir cars without modification?
Thanks for the info. This list is great. I found a handbrake handle and cable
for my car at very friendly prices.
cheers,
