    Rear rotors. What thickness ?

    I bought a pair of new rear brake rotors on Ebay. The description said to suit Defender, Discovery Series 1 and RRC. They are stamped with a minimum thickness of 11mm, but I notice the ones on the back of my '99 Td5 Defender have a minimum thickness of 13mm. Which ones are for which models ????

    Cheers, Murray

    They have sent you the wrong ones Murray, 11mm is for DBA088, 13mm is correct, they are actually the same as front solid rotors for a D1/ RRC. You will also discover should you try to fit them that the offset is about 1 inch out

    The DBA numbers for the defender rear up till ABS models is DBA087. The DBA 088 is rear RRC and D1, and the DBA 086 is vented front, RRC and Defender.

    Don't you just love cataloguing errors...NOT

    Thanks guys, I didn't pay much for them, so if they wont replace them, I'll just sell them on.
