whos got rear calipers fitted (escorts)

[Rick]

just been having a dabble under the car with the handbrake cable for sierra callipers. (from GS escorts)

 

has anyone else got pictures of how theres is fitted as i cant quite suss it out.

 

obviously i gotta make a couple brackets to mount bits to the axle but i need to know how its linked to the handbrake lever and how the adjuster is attatched,

 

i dont think im doing it right as i seem to have a lot of slack

Wouldn't the escort cosworth cable be the same as the sierra cable as they share the same floor pan, the escort cosworth is longer than a standard mk5/6

yes a little.

 

i can take up a lot of the slack by re-routing the rest of the cable the long way

 

i need to see the adjuster bracket begind the handbrake too if anyone can show me

I used old ford auto's ajuster brackets you can mount them where you like thus taking up the slack in the cable

 

they do a kit with all the bits you need for rear disks - the disk & calipers

ah cheers mate!

 

i just assumed the cables from gs escorts had been made up to fit the escorts adjuster, etc

 

i might make one rather than buy one though

 

cheers

If you make the outta sheathing longer the cable gets magically shorter
