Shelbourne Disks ?

Hi - anyone have a clue what the disks are on a 350 Shelbourne ?
I would guess it's a car disk - but not sure - would help if I knew what car it came off - somebody told me years ago that the rear wheel bearing / hub setup was off a volkswagen ? (probably not relevant anyway)
Many Thanks !

Thanks Steve - I had the VW estate in my head but couldn't think of the name of it - so maybe Shelbourne's the same...

Used them a few times - they`re only about £4.50. Less than a fiver, anyway! They`ve got three holes, so it`s easy to drill more for mounting holes combined with lightening ones.
Thanks for that - will probably have to hope that showing it to a "Parts Man" at a motor factors will get a "Yea - got one like that off a..." - unless I can find a list somewhere with a few measurements...
The disk on there is a 4 hole - and is using 2 of the original holes - elongated - plus 4 extra holes to bolt to the shaft..

Gordon the shelbourne discs you want are off a MK2 cortina.once theve been machined to tickness and diameter they will bolt straight on. trust me i have a new set made every 2 years.
