Why We Include Fixing Screws in Brake Discs
Innovation means many things.
Sometimes, it’s a first-of-a-kind feature. Other times, it’s about getting the small things just right. Both make all the difference in the workshop, and both are a high priority for the team here at Delphi.
That’s why we are one of the few premium European disc ranges that include fixing screws in our brake discs which is content over and above the OE.
Advantages of Replacing the Brake Disc Fixing Screw with a New One:
Designed with Technicians in Mind
There’s more to producing parts than on-road performance and longevity. These things are hugely important, but so are the technicians installing and fixing vehicles.
When time matters and pressure’s on, having the right screw in the box saves hassle and keeps things moving full force ahead.
Not Everyone Includes Them, but We Do
Despite the difference they make to the technician’s experience, most brands leave the fixing screws out.
At Delphi, we’ve taken a different approach. We know what matters to technicians, and in 2024, we made a serious push to include fixing screws in the box where they’re needed.
Last year, we added fixing screws to over 700 part numbers. That brings our total to more than 1,000, with those covering over 98% of vehicles that actually require them during installation.
Zooming out, we’ve got 1,900+ live brake disc part numbers and 98.61% European VIO coverage. Our coverage is strong - #1 in coverage across Europe, and we’re not slowing down anytime soon.
Our Ongoing Commitment
Going forward, every new brake disc part number that needs a fixing screw will come with one. No exceptions. It’s one more way we’re setting ourselves apart and staying ahead of the curve.
Innovating to make the technician’s life easier - that’s the Delphi difference.
