Rear rotors needed
So... I am here to seek the wisdom of the SVX oracles!
My mechanic says I need new rotors, and he cannot get them... Any ideas? Also, my SVX came with the service manuals! I am assuming that there are already scans of them around? if you ever want any info from them, I would be happy to scan what you need. |

Re: Rear rotors needed
Napa, Advance Auto, and Autozone all have them for like $35 a piece or so.
At least, in the US. (Didn't check locale before replying). Perhaps you could have someone here buy them for you and ship them.

Re: Rear rotors needed
Dave the Aust models rotors are the same as the US model. Its the UK one that has different rear discs.
Countess have a look at Disc Brakes Aust. http://www.dba.com.au/ Harvey.

Re: Rear rotors needed
Sorry about the mis-info, I thought the Aus SVX's had the vented rears also...

No DBA rotors were available at that time here. The rear vented rotors in stock now are the 'gravel' rotors, rotors used in off-road racing with steel wheels. The lug spacing is 5x100. I have two sets of dba Series 4000 redrilled for use on my cars. The national sales director wants to refer to one dealer, as very few rotors are stocked here. The fronts are also available, series 4000 also. If you want info, let me know, I'll see where it stands. DBA's webpage link is in my signature .

Re: Rear rotors needed
Check out RACERX4 on Trademe (or check out some of my earlier posts about the guy here in Auckland Peter Smith-West - he has at least 3 sets of rotors).
His mobile is 0277506319 - just let him know that Steve with the red SVX put you on to him - he will post to you. |
