I should have stuck with a proper retailer like auto link!
Is there anyway to measure to be sure before I send back?

Re: Rear Brake Disc & Pad Part Number
Thanks Wayne!
There definately bigger than the one it the picture, mine is virtually 11in across.
Does that mean the part number (at start of thread) was wrong or have they put the wrong disc in the right box (has same part number on it) ?
Cheers

Re: Rear Brake Disc & Pad Part Number
Wayne,
Sorry to be a pain but I want to check the discs I've received are the right size before I leave ebay feedback.
They seem to be 27.5cm (width across rear) which is too big isn't it? (I have standard brakes).
The part numbers on box match what I have you previously
Cheers

Thanks Wayne, appreciate the help!
Sorry got an unrelated question:
Do iridium spark plugs offer any gain other than lasting longer?
