Brake disc locking tabs

Recommended Posts

Whilst plucking up courage to cut my new boot box I thought I would replace my front discs. 

Next problem, the disc locking tabs have corroded away. Does anyone know if Escort/Capri tabs will fit, there's loads on eBay but only a couple of Cortina in Australia or 1 in UK with 7 days left to run. Been to a couple of Motorfactors locally with no joy.

TBH, I didn't fit any, I intended to, but I needed the car on the road before they would have arrived by post.

A) The bolts are easily visible, you can check them and torque them up without even removing a wheel.

B) You'd have to be an idiot to not notice/feel/hear something if they started coming loose

C) I'm not even convinced the tabs do much anyway, intended for a production car that does 10'000+ miles between any checking/servicing.
