I have the brackets but where do I get the bolts?

Oh if anyone needs some cheap discs you can get them for £64.50 delivered from http://www.brakeparts.co.uk (http://www.brakeparts.co.uk/)

They are exactely the same thread else how else is it meant to bolt into the hub :confused: and size wise there is no difference, you just need an additional two each side.

Is it really the 285mm brake you are talking about or only the 260mm?

I hope it's 285 as I've just ordered the discs :eek: standard Renault 4 stud txi discs are 285mm and I believe that's what fits on the big brake group buy we did last year..

So I just need a 4 standard caliper bolts.. that should be straight forward enough :agree:

yeah there the correct discs, normal bolts should be ok but about 5mm extra would be better.

Okay, sorry. I thought you are using the Clio 16V brake which is only 260.
I didn't know about that group buy.

Any ideas on what to ask for if I want the extra 5mm ones.. as I've tried a number of bolts from my shed and none seem a good fit..

I don't think I'll have a problem getting another set of caliper bolts from Renault but if you know the exact spec it'll be really useful.. in fact I'd get a couple of sets in case someone else needed them.

No problem, it was probably 2 years ago.. I'm just a bit slow when it comes to fitting things ;)
