Ok, so now I'm getting a wee bit ticked off.
No feedback - no help, not a good way to go about things, sorry to say.

Not to mention the fact that it has been nearly a MONTH since the order was placed.

Jan: The order was charged on the 23rd of July and was dispatched shortly afterwards. You are in Portugal and we are in the UK.

DHL have some issues with the address you provided and I have called them twice to confirm now. You have the tracking details and are welcome to check the status of the delivery and contact DHL if you wish.

I cannot personally get on a plane to deliver the item to you in Portugal - that job has been left with DHL.

Fair enough, but the destination details could not be more correct.
Yes I did see the day the order was charged, it just seems like DHL is not very good by the looks of it.

5 phone calls later and only then could someone actually inform me of what is going on!
It's "little" things like this that are bad for business, and DHL is one sloppy operator to say the least, and that is coming from a person who lives in the country that I do!

They were contacted like you had said Bob, and then they contacted the warehouse 3 times, and no joy! Now it will be only arriving monday (if it does!).
The worst £35 in shipping that I have ever spent.

Thanks again.
J.

They have arrived! Hurray!

Bob, they sure look the part, and are being installed this evening.

Shame that DHL has some issues with the transport, unfortunately there are 3 dings on the discs the mechanic says there should be no problem.
It seems like DHLs representation here is not the best...............

Nonetheless what matters is that they have arrived.

Will put up some pictures when installed!

Thanks

The discs work as good as they look, bedding them in.

They dont make half the noise the original discs made which is also good.

Pictures soon.

Very pleased with mine and i would even go as far to say that they have saved my front end from getting totaled after some numpty locked up at 50mph just to not run over a rat. I think with the originals it would of been a different story.

It's nice to have confidence in the brakes

Question

BOB'5, do you know if the holes have been drilled after the disc had been cast, or did the holes originate in the forming process like, allegedly, Brembo discs?

Cheers, John

Mine have rusted nicely on the inside unused part of the disc, as they all do.

Anyway I can stop it?

Still dont have the pics, but will get them up asap.
Installed some GD braided brake line hoses, and now that the brakes are up to pace, there is phenomenal braking power available.
