Elan S4 brake discs

[pburgess000]

The front brakes on my S4 judder badly, which I assume is due to the the discs becoming distorted. For ?35 on eBay there are a set of Quinton Hazell replacements, including pads. The issue is my original workshop manual, which I bought in 1974, quotes a disc diameter of 241mm, whereas the QH set are 232mm.

Any thoughts about suitability would be most welcome.

Hi Peter.

I don't know about the suitability of the eBay items, which is why I tend to buy from the specialists like Paul Matty and Sue Miller. I bought a pair from Matty a couple of years ago for my S4, and from memory they were ?13 each. Cheaper, and they are the correct ones!
