I recently purchased 2 brand new disk brake rotors which were
advertized for possible XK-150, Rolls-Royce, Aston- Martin cars but the
seller wasn’t sure of the exact vehicle. The specs. appeared to be for
a 150 but when trying to match my rotors, they were off a bit.
The overall diam. is 12", the same as mine, the thickness is 1/2",
(12.66mm), mine is .450", approx. bolt hole diam. is 114mm., which is
approx. 4 1/2".
When I tried to fit a rear hub onto the rotor, I found that the center
hole was 1/4" smaller than the hub required. The rotor hole is 3 1/2",
the hub requires a 3 3/4" opening. They are LUCAS rotors, part# RC
7279, Eric C. looked it up & they were cross referenced to Part #
RC-26778 but didn’t list an application. Additional numb. GHN-10892 was
on the box. It may be for a MK or XKE, S-1 type before they switched to
the vented type rotor. Some of the Listers have access to the other
Forums, so if they could make some inquiries given the listed numbers,
I would appreciate any help.

The hubs on the E-type are the same size as the XK, so maybe
they fit the rear brakes, as those are inboard.

Thanks Joel, I forgot about the IRS rotors. I’ll try the XKE forum &
see what shakes loose.
