Hi All,

I hope someone can help me hear as i have drawn a blank everywhere else.

I have a UK model L200 Pickup truck.
Its 1998 and non-import model with black bumpers.

So far as i know the discs are on it from new and standard...?

However none of the shops ones fit.

Here are the measurements..

DIA 255mm
Centre 76mm
Overall Height 36mm
6 hole centres.

According the Mit , it should have 14 inch discs on it, but the ones i have
to use
are about 10inchs (sorry don't know inchs.)

Any ideas?

The ones for the L300 1986 are the right dia and centre, but they are 40mm
heigh and
if i fit them the disc is against the cover and the bolts of no thread
showing on the hub.

HELP !!!!!

Thanks,
Mark Murphy.

You may want to try www.dba.com.au. They make a hole range of standard and
performance brake rotors for just about every make and model and their
catalogue contains all the key dimensions for each Mitsubishi model.

Hi,

Had a look but all i found were a few PDF's.
I was hoping someone might recognise the dimentions and
let me know what its from, as i'm sure its not the L200 its on now.

Mark.

You were supposed to look through the PDFs, particularly the International
Catalogues!! I looked through the Mitsubishis and saw no 6 hole disc that
was 36mm high. Most 6 holes appear to be around 45mm which you seem to have
discovered. I suspect that vehicle may have brakes from a totally different
brand and there is a remote chance it is possible if you bought it second
hand.

The catalogue shows where DBA take their measurements. Look through the
Japanese brands in particular and you may find the previous owner has
replaced the struts and brakes (does the L200 have struts??) with those from
a Toyota for example. If this is the case I am not even going to speculate
why but stranger things have happened. Here in Australia, early '70s
Galants and Lancers modified for rallying sometimes had Holden Torana
limited slip diff centres and Toyota axles fitted!!!!

Looking through the catalogue I find an Isuzu Rodeo R9 (96 - 02) on page 42
to be a likely candidate with a 257mm dia, 36mm height and 6 holes.

Have a look at the L200s and Tritons in this catalogue. Some of those look
pretty close.

Is it a 4 wheel drive model ?? as some Mitusbishi's also came out in the
L300, and the brake setup is different to the L200, most ppl here in
Australia, swapped the L200 brake system for the L300 as they were much
better and never had problems as did the L200

Check out the L300

All.

I have had a digital micrometre on it now

21.6 mm disc
45mm total width

87 mm hub hole

255mm total diameter.

i have looked in the book and i have a feeling they are for the L300 crew
cab.
