ARRRRGH!!! /grr /grr

Mine and Nick's are fitted the RIGHT way. They look 'backwards' against the rotation of the disc. My Rossini discs came with CLEAR instructions to mount them this way!!!

"On no it isn't"

"Oh Yes it is!"


Anyone feel another one of 'Those' threads kicking off?! :rolleyes4 :rolleyes4 /grr :evil2:

Hmm .. Ithink i may check mine when i get home tomorrow morning .. :inquisiti

Looking at the way the grooves sweep towards the rear of the car makes sense ,for dispersing the built up gases and brake dust , as do tyre treads to disperse the water.. So i think even other makes of discs would follow the same instructions for fitting .. Otherwise all the build up would be shoved in towards the hub .. And i can't think that would be anything but bad .. /yes

Kieran is right, some manufacturers state the other way round. It could be the angle more than the direction? I don't know, but I will be changing mine around!

The Nationals are fitted with the grooves sweeping INWARDS as the disk rotates - the exact opposite to Black diamonds?? Strangely.

The gasses will escape whichever way. Wonder why they're different?
