240 Rotor Identification 200

I have a '78, '84,'86 & '91. They have Girling's on all. I have not noticed outside changes in the rotors except a yard. Then those are non-vented on the older cars.

Now with that said. That leaves that the dimensions inside could differ with spindle design changes. Spindle nuts are different. I know bearing numbers differ when the races and cones that come as a set.

The '91's are different than the '86. The internals races are thicker or thinner and the location of the taper might move. I'll have to watch next time I do a spindle/brake service. I'll have to take pictures from car to car.

Maybe its that you have newer rotors that are suppose to use different bearings.

I really feel that the hat height only effects the offset of the rim away from the calipers.

The calipers mount to a back plate. The dimension from the rear shoulder of the spindle to the back plate locates the bearing. The shoulder inside the rotor to the back side of the disc should be compared.

I just think something on the inside has shifted. That's about all I can figure from my point.

If I were Brembo. I would say those things to you. May be they have a fact sheet they can furnish within their models. That define some caution upon using their products for similar reasons.

Good luck and tell us what the outcome is.

Phil
