will they fit ?

[Messenjah]

will 2.8i discs fit on my standard 2.0 legs ??? i know i will also need a calliper spacer kit but will the discs fit straight on ?

[bomber1]

dunno sorry

[Rick]

id imagine so/.

 

as long as the disk offset is the same

They certainly do matey, but you have to remove the stone guard as it interferes with the vented disc's

As Jimmyjangle has said, they will fit straight on

One thing you will need is longer caliper bolts to get them on as there is a spacer that sits between the caliper and the leg to re-centralise it over the disk.

 

 

The standard bolts are too short, which is why there was a longer bolt for the 2.8i

 

Which is no longer available from Fords unfortunately.

That is a good point there Neil... I should know since both of mine dropped out when I changed my calipers last year. There was a puzzled Jimbob wondering why his calipers were touching the disc.

 

He then looked under the car and found 2 spacers. I then took the other side apart so I knew where they went

 

I do know that Tickover sell all the parts for this conversion, if Ford no longer sell them, it might be an idea to ask Tickover if they can sort you out the bolts and spacers, and the caliper spacers as well.

Mate... already been there done that.. just not with Tickover.

 

I basically bought up the last of Fords stock of 2.8i caliper bolts, which amounted to about 20.

 

I then went straight to a specialist fastners I use in Bedford and tried to source some.

 

Nothing doing, they are a special thing Ford had done.

 

It would be possible to machine them from a modern bolt but then there was issues around case hardening etc etc etc so I never pursued it any further.

 

Perhaps it will need a Capri specialist to take it to the next level.

 

But while theres still scrappers around people will knick them off them.

If its any use I can get them hardened for you
