Yes and no. The supplier was Reynobond who manufacture in France and the US. They are part of Arconic, a US company, who were formed by the division of Alcoa into two separate entities.

I would point out that these Islamist terrorists were armed with knives, not guns, probably due to the difficulty in obtaining firearms in the UK. If guns were freely available then I've no doubt that is what they would have used and the carnage would have been considerably greater. Automatic...

Even with the thicker disc the pads were pretty hefty (ds11) as in thick.

Vented discs are 304mm x 32mm and use separate bells (steel originally,but everyone uses ally now). Calipers were Girling 18/4 all round or 18/4 front and 16/4 rear. CR and BR calipers are two piston, the three piston caliper on the Cobra was a 16/3 and 12/3 set. The reason you see so many cars...

I've suffered a clutch explosion in the past; blew the bellhousing apart (aly), broke the lugs on the block, cut the headers, holed the hood, dented the floor (double skinned) and put a large divot in the pit straight at Goodwood. Get a clutch that is properly spec'd for the job.
