jerrytr5 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I think you've answered your own question - put the originals back on. Do the rear brakes actually heat up enough to require additional cooling? I've always taken the view that unless you've got front drums they must only be fitted for aesthetics.

Rhodri Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Have you got the Datsun 240Z drums ? I believe the holes needed machining on them in order to fit the TR. Also the edge of the drum where it meets the backplate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red 6 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hi, I suggest you take them back. If they do not fit, there is a problem (obvious i know!) I fitted a pair to my 250, not to improve the braking but just because they looked nice! TR shop and Moss have the correct ones (as do others i am sure) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marvmul Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Rhoddri may well be right. I think there is only one brand of the new alfins. These new alfins were unavailable for several months : so another possibility is that the new available alfins aren't exactly the same as the'old' new alfins, which were available till september 2005 or so and they were a very good fit.
