    Anyone recognise this?

    Hi all,

    I'm in the middle of rebuilding my car. I've a converted drum axel to discs. However I've went to replace everything and don't know what diner car has been used.







    Hope someone can help.

    Thanks.

    Pop the bits to your local motor factors who will be able to match them up to something.

    It'll be worth measuring the diameter of the discs and the thickness. (although worn it'll give a rough idea)

    It definitely looks mk3 Astra/Cavalier:



    Mk3 on the left, mk4 is on the right.

    Re: Anyone recognise this?

    Any 2.0 16v (not 4x4 though I think). Calibra is the same or Mk2 Astra 2.0 16v

    Later mk3 Astras have sealed bearings/hubs rather than the taper bearings in the drum but shouldn't be an issue if you're renewing everything.

    Re: Anyone recognise this?

    Hi,

    Thanks for the help...I'm still a bit unsure as what car description to use when ordering them as the plates ive ordered already were from a 4x4 and some non turbo models. Is there a specific model that I could use that defo uses those back plates? Gsi2000? Sorry not too clued up on Cavaliers.
