Depends on whether your van is a T28 T30 or T32.
The T32 has bigger brakes on the front.
@Nutexa Frictions do fantastic brakes for the T6 and offer forum discount.
Well worth checking out

Put your registration into Euro Car Parts or Autodoc.
You’re more than likely going to have 308mm upfront and then 294mm at the rear.
A way to confirm this is if you can see a
Brake pad through one arch on your caliper they’re 308mm if you can see brake pad through 2 arches they’re 340mm. Alternatively send me over a picture and i’ll confirm sizes

If you are changing he discs, bear in mind the phenominal torque required to tighten the caliper carriers:
and the bolts should be replaced as well.
Not quite right. Not all T32 have the 340mm brakes.
Some T28s and T30s have the 340mm bigger discs,
I’ve found that on some models
sometimes it’s a boxed ticked on order sheet. But mainly on engine size, bigger power = bigger brakes
@Nutexa Frictions any date for when the little front plain discs will be back in stock?
Yes, my T32 came with the smaller brakes. I believe T32's only come with the 340mm brakes if you have 17in wheels from the factory, mine came with 16in steels.
It’s more the other way round. If you have bigger brakes you get the 17” wheels.
Shame on you for not going dimpled / grooved or both.
At replacement time, surely it makes sense, even if it's just for aesthetics
Going plain avoids the need to decide on n, grooved, dimpled or combo of the last 2 plus I don’t need the extra performance and I’m terms of aesthetics anything less rusty would be great!Shame on you for not going dimpled / grooved or both.

Edit: not to mention that they are substantially cheaper
For the road plain discs are best
Being made this moment, hoping mid to end of next week
Why?For the road plain discs are best
And do I need to fill all the holes in my motorbikes discs?
A bit of polyfilla should do the trick.Why?

Poke match heads into the holes.
