chadler Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) I’ve recently come into possession of an expedition trailer built on a Mk3 FV2381 Reynolds Boughton (Sankey) Widetrack chassis. It needs new brake discs and although there is lots of vague information online about it using Ford brake components- including ‘Scorpio’ discs, I can’t find a definitive source that says whether these are front or rear discs or what model year. I’ve managed to get the correct pads through matching the Mintex part number MDB1287. Grateful if anyone has any good information they can post here to help me and others in future. I’ve already found the army AESP which is available here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a817566ed915d74e6232608/20160119-FOI2016_00155_Palmer_Annex_A_Final.pdf Edited November 11, 2023 by chadler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD5toV8110 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Measure your disc diameter. Check the Scorpio disc specs. Fronts will likely be vented, rears solid. Fronts will be larger diameter than rears. Then confirm stud pattern (PCD) Cheers Dave 🙃 (I just checked for you...😘) Product details Brake Disc Rotors: front (ventilated) GT number: 0707GT Diameter: 278mm Max. thickness: max 24mm / min: 22mm Centering hole diameter: 63,60mm Height: 47mm Number of holes: 4 OEM Number: 1513979, 4056031, 4070864, 5026785, 6676462 For SCORPIO II (GFR, GNR, GGR) SALOON / ESTATE (10.1994-08.1998) 2.9 i 24V (152kW/207HP) Fits SCORPIO II GFR GNR GGR SALOON ESTATE 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 Brand Ford Manufacturer: EBC Dimensions number of holes: 4/253x11mm/height: 34mm Page Left and Right Made in the UK Rear axle application area Tuning & Styling Part: Yes Turbo Groove disc version Registration without registration Colour coating black Model Scorpio 1 Manufacturer Part Number: GD280-8 Non-ventilated version Product Type: Brake Discs Type GGE Scope of delivery: 2 pieces Edited November 11, 2023 by TD5toV8110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadler Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 Thanks, the thing that doesn’t seem to match up is the number of bolt holes in the disc. Your post says 4 whilst the picture and text of the manual says 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD5toV8110 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Mustn't be Scorpio discs then. Measure the diameter and PCD then cross reference them. The pix above look Land Rover PCD, maybe Range Rover classic rears? (or fronts) Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadler Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 A bit more digging, apparently they are Ford Grenada rear discs and they need machining down. http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/sankey-trailer-brake-overhall-128542.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
