Title: Rear Brake Disc
Post by: Speedy1959 on Monday, 18 September 2017, 10:20 PM
Hi all..
Not a fan of wavey discs so I wish to replace the rear none standard one with a decent used one.
Firstly will a K7 disc fit a K5 ok?
Also what is the thickness wear limit on a rear disc.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Rear disks off all models are interchangeable.

Tolerances are in the table below for both front and rear disks (Units shown are in mm with equivalent inches measurement in brackets)

When looking for replacement rear disc, I noticed that many aftermarket have an initial thickness of 5mm and minimum thickness of 4.5mm. Just something to be aware of.
