Jensen/ rover P5 brake conversion
Hi all, any brake guru's care to help with a big problem I have in sourcing rear discs and calipers to fit to a Salisbury HA axle originaly fitted to a Jensen, thats going into a Rover p5b coupe as it has a 2.8:1 limited slip diff. As these original parts are formidably expensive I'm looking for alternative parts that may fit or may need a bit of modification.
As you can imagine trying to find parts amongst so much choice is bewildering but have seltled so far on Mondeo parts, any thoughts please.
Here's a few pics of the unit so far.
Home made hub puller removing the tapered joint.
If dimensions would be helpfull then its all available, just to help , stud pattern is 5 on 5 etc.
Thanks so far, Steve

You can enter the various disc parameters in the Brembo site and see what comes up.

OK Thanks, here we go thenkiwicar wrote:Hi
I have a small collection of un used brae discs from jags, vectras, RRs and siera (i think)
If you post up PCDs and diaiters I can have a measure up and see if any are suitable.
Best regards

You can also look up by make etc and see if those dimensions cross reference on the search back to that make and model. If not, it may be a browser problem. It works fine here with Firefox.truckdoctor wrote:Well that's strange, after putting mondeo sizes in , it's still not working for me?DaveEFI wrote:Works ok here.

What do these use for a handbrake?
You might also look at the Saab 900 and Vectra calipers (fronts) as they have the handbrake work on the froont wheels
