Other than by having the originals is there any way of telling weather I had the 286 or 311mm discs?
brakeparts.co.uk, cheap recon ones.
It won't really matter which you had origionally providing you have 16' wheels on it, the only bit that is different is the backing plates, you could just trim the edge off with a grinder if they are too small (and they are still intact/there)

I believe the smaller back plates had ducts into the back, whereas the larger ones are plain without ducts. Plus the discs fill the callipers to almost touching.

If you have 15" wheels they will be 286mm, if you have 16" then it will more than likely be the 311mm unless someone has fitted the larger wheels to an early 80.

Milners look cheap enough but never fitted any so no idea what the quality/longevity is like. http://www.milneroffroad.com/toyota...-2td-1990-1998-ukimport/hdj80-brakes-0?page=2
The discs are OK. They fit and work. I've probably had around 3 full sets without any issues. I really like their new ceramic pad material. We've had this debate already though. They are definitely the best at stooping that I have tried and that's against OEM and Optifit and EBC.
