Ken -

Brembo is a very very high quality brand and we are lucky that they make
disks for our healeys.

FYI the seller / brembo has incorrect information - the brake discs for
BT7s/BN7s/BJ7s and phaseI BJ8s are all the same, whereas Phase II BJ8s (1964
on) use a later style disc, so their information is unclear.

I think this disc is for the BJ8 - best way to check is to measure the depth
of the cap (item B on the brembo spec list for this brake) and compare it
with the spec list for the brembo brake - if the depth of the cap on your
rotor is shallower than the brembo spec, then you know the brembo brake is
for the BJ8.
