Fully Floating Cast Iron Discs

916 is 10mm offset ? Andy

 

Got 3 pairs of Cast-iron discs under my bench, all the carriers are rotationally worn beyond MOT limits. Not checked the discs for thickness.

 

Good shout that, bobbin kits are still available if the OP’s carriers are still sound. Just changed the bobbins on my 748RS, 15mm offset cast iron discs. Andy

 

Spot on re: "if carriers are still sound" , sadly they have often worn in sympathy, got loads myself.

 

elusive rascals at the mo it seems..

Ouch, £700 ! Andy

 

Just had a moment. Didn’t someone on here manufacture a load of carriers a while back ? Andy

 

I made some for the early Snowflake discs, made of 7075 aluminium. much tougher than the early brembo discs and I have swapped mine out and kept the outer discs.

I have 4 pairs left, if anyone is interested.

 

Before and after rotational movement.

 

Here is the minimum wear from the 748/916 workshop manual and 3.5mm is the minimum thickness for cast iron discs and 4.5 for stainless.

 

What years is that covering ? My 2002 748R’s original cast iron disc carrier is stamped MIN TH 4mm. Andy

 

Not sure of the year exactly, but it would be for the early ones by looking at the models covered.

 

I will get my discs measured and will be interested if they have enough meat left in them.
Does anyone have an idea of cost for bobbin kits if I need some?
