How did you know they were off 558 MF?

[Mayfly]

I didn't ..........just thought items off 558 are easy for MR to shoot

so are they?

[Mackrick]

Not being a heavy my guess would be brake pistons ?

[Jigsaw]

LOL I was hoping you could tell me mate.
They are from 558 and they are to do with the brakes but I don't know what part.
There is someting that looks similar in your Lynham post I read earlier.
I do have a bigger picture. I will post it over the weekend.

WOW, that must be a big picture!

I believe there the stator plates from the brake packs (although i stand to be corrected!)

Stator Assembly

Each single stator assembly consists of a circular metal plate, to one side of which, a set of circular inorganic pads is secured by rivets. The pads are integral with their respective casings, a small projection on the back of each engages with a hole in the stator plate to prevent rotation. There are a total of 96 pads on one brake unit assembly.

I will see if i can get the diagram i have on to here!

... and there's me thinking it was a badly scratched vinyl double album.

Ok after a look round today with Sam we reckon that they are the brake stator plates....

[Xplumberlives]

Good Call!

[Saracenman]

so are those basically a 'sandwich' of several brake disks, to increase braking friction surface area?

Sam would be the better one to answer this but basically yes.

Well done guys

The full pic as promised.

[Mackrick]

Jigsaw you made Sam get his hands dirty and you knew what it was all the time

[Jigsaw]

LOL no mate. I knew it was part of the braking system but that was it.
I really do appreciate the info

[Mackrick]

Let you off then....
