cup car brake discs and Abingdon wheels

What brake discs did the cup cars run on the front - height/diameter/thickness, I'm curious as to how the Abingdon cleared the 4 pot calipers? I do think they are the best looking wheel for the mgf. Thinking of another set of wheel for the race car as wets rather than another set of TD Pro Race 1.2.

Now you're asking - will have to look it up as my brain is atrophying in my old age. But they are nothing like the AP set up found on the Trophy 160 or TF160. IIRC, the diameter of the disc was something like 285mm. They are two-part discs on alloy bells - the offset I don't know. The 4-pot caliper was racing spec (no dust seals) on a completely different adaptor.
Pretty sure a deep google search will reveal some of what you're after

Well that sounds promising I'm running 285mm standard height with HiSpec race calipers - no dust seals. I have google it...

You'll have something very similar then. The rears were the same size as the front IIRC, but with a racing caliper with no handbrake mechanism.

Just need an abingdon alloy to try then.
