Arjan Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 As per title. Has someone fitted rear vented discs to a OneTen / 110 with a Salisbury rear axle ? Interest to hear your ideas.. Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 No point, the calipers are only 2 pistons & no parts to make them vented, fitting front calipers to the rear will make it over braked & possibly give all sorts of weird brake feel/reactions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L19MUD Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I agree with Western on this, you want the main braking effort on the front or you risk locking up the rears and the only option for vented will be with bigger front callipers which could cause that issue. I guess the question is why are you considering it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 If you had massive aftermarket brakes up front I could understand it, I'm making the assumption here that you don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Only reason to fit vented discs is if your brakes are overheating - until then, they make absolutely no difference to braking. Size of disc and calliper / pad are what improve braking under normal conditions - but the rear brakes do very little especially on a longer wheelbase.
