John Thornton Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I need to replace the front brake disks on my 1962 TR4 and wonder if there is any advantage in using cross drilled and groves, geomet finished or just standard disks for road use car? I am also thinking of using green stuff brake pads and possibly matching these with green stuff brake shoes on the rear drums. Can anyone offer some advice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hi John, for normal use the plain discs work well. Green stuff pads have their supporters but just as many that hate them. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

monty Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I have just ordered from TR Enterprises their recommendation of plain discs & Mintex 1144 pads for my uprated TR4 after much deliberation! Not fitted yet but they were a reasonable price & I have been a little disappointed with Green stuff on my 4A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it helps prevent corrosion. Graeme Quote Link to post Share on other sites
