Just to confuse us, the Parts List for the 409-410 has a different Bristol part number for the front brake discs, which is 909-1-23044 but thankfully they also list the same same Girling number 64327417.

The Bristol part number for the rear discs is 909-1-30015 (Girling 64327404).

It would be interesting to know why Bristol sometimes used part numbers beginning with 9 instead of a 4.

The discs on a 408 are not the same as the 409-411 and have a 406 part number - 406-1-23044 (front and rear). Bristol used Dunlop brakes before the 409.

I'm not sure if there was any change between the 408 and the 408 Mark 2, but the rear discs on my 408 Mark 2 are part no 406-1-30091. The front discs have the part no quoted by Kevin. BCL still used the Dunlop brakes on the Mark 2.
