Hi all
Regarding where we are with the 550 discs/3200/4200, I took delivery today of the OEM Brembo's I said I would order from my other thread (pair of fronts to start with). They are indeed cross-drilled as per Brembo technical drawing. Very nicely done with 5.85mm dia holes surrounded by a countersink of 9.85mm dia. Started to check all dimensions and so far so good. Just need someone with an original 3200/4200 disc off the car for final checking of the off-set. Going by the dimension from a post from another forum from some time back we look to be just 400 microns (0.4mm) adrift, hence why I would like to measure a 3200/4200 off a car myself (new or worn disk would be fine as this measurement will not be altered by age), the measurement those people took may not have been precise (and also one of them had a vested interest in selling Maserati parts - just an observation). So it's just down to that one last confirmation and we are all good to go with fronts. Yes they are drilled, yes they are the correct 330mm dia, yes they are correct 32mm thick, yes the bolt holes all line up, yes they are vented with the new pillar technology, yes they are high carbon, yes the bell housing mounting flange is 7mm thick, yes the price is a lot cheaper! Anyone with a disk near Northants?
Once resolved I'll also tackle the rears.
Cheers
James
(Will also get some photos up of them later or tomorrow evening)
