Default Help identifying brake disc!

As many of you know my B2 Audi 80 is built using a selection on B2, B3 and B4 components..

Luckily I know what they're all from, except the front brakes.

They're 256mm x 20mm with the usual Girling 54 calipers.

However, I cannot work out what model of Audi 80 they came off.. the reason being that they have a overall depth of about 56mm. This would suggest they are B4. But I cannot find a B4 with vented 256mm discs. They all appear to be 276 or 280mm

I'd always thought they were B3, but B3 256mm x 20mm discs have a overall height of about 46mm!

I've bought B3 discs, but clearly don't fit!


Bloody dodgy catalogue at auto factors, I checked with Audi.. they're B4 2.0E front discs!

B2 and B3 are different. B3 uses a 256x22. B2 is 256x20
