Hi Paul
if you have a look at my thread on my build i used a pair of them with the bottom one turned upside down so it went into the tube. i then used the 4 stud holes to fix it into the concrete that filled the pier and drilled the disc part for bolts so that i could fix the top to the bottom. Dead easy really.

I use brake discs in my obsy and they work perfectly. They would need a massive whack to crack them. I used ones for a micro to mount my heq5 to. I will be swapping the top one for a vauxhall omega one so I can mount the neq6.

This is exactly how i did mine only difference is i used a nissan micra disk as on the attached page. Mine also fit inside the tube perfectly and i used the bolt holes to concrete it all in place. It is super solid with hardly any vibration transmited even if you know it very hard !

I would just check the bottom dimension of the neq6 its 65mm I believe. I ordered a rear disc for a vauxhall carlton which has a 66mm central hole and it fits perfectly. Just need to make a bracket or something to go underneath so I can put a bolt through and hold it all in place and drill it to fit my existing bottom plate and put an az stud in.
