Rear Discs.......Help required please!!

Hi all,

I'm in the process of converting from drums to discs on my English axle. I have pretty much all the parts requierd and will photograph as I go for future reference for anyone considering the same.

I have one issue. On the offside the position of the caliper when offerred up hits the Panhard Rod . I cannot re-position to the top of the disc as it hits the coil or the front as it hits the trailing arms. I need to move the caliper and disc out/ away from the hub. In order to dio this I need a suitable disc with a shallower bell....I can then space the caliper bracket accordingly to suit.

I currently have MK4 Escort discs (solid) which are 240mm dia, overall height 58mm. There's a pic in my archive cunningly named "Escort Disc".......could someone attach it to the thread as I'm unsure how to do this.

My question is does anyone know of a similar disc with shallower bell.

Help appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt
