Brake discs

Post by Spencer54 » Mon Feb 17, 2014 3:31 pm

Can anyone confirm if the front and rear discs are the same or different?
Are all the models the same, some are listed as V6?

Front discs are heavier than the rear ones. There is no difference between the discs on petrol or diesel Bongos.

Front & rear are definitely different, the rear includes the spazzy little drum brake operated by the handbrake lever :wink:

Lushprojects does not list different discs for V6 and the other models so it looks like they are the same across models at least for early years....

Front and rears are different, but I believe the disks and calipers are the same for all models / years. I changed mine last year and revamped the calipers. Unfortunately don't stay looking nice and shiny for long.
