andytechno Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 do these fit onto capri/escort struts or do they need modding?
Tom Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 straight on mate with a little spacer to centre them
andytechno Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 nice 1 thomas.big up ya self.
Tom Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 you'll need longer caliper bolts tho mate, i just remembered
Toby Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 And bigger diameter discs so the pads are completely covered by the disc too I think.
Tom Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 yeah but vented 2.8 capri ones will do, its very minimal overlap mate
andytechno Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Posted December 4, 2007 nice 1 fellas,can get a spacer kit from retro ford i think for 30 od quid.nice 1
Tom Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 For the calipers? that seems a bit pricey to me for what they are - mine came with them so i dunno how much they are. i think the washers that go in between caliper and carrier are about 5mm
andytechno Posted December 5, 2007 Author Report Posted December 5, 2007 hes a very good lad tom is.and yes mate thats how much the spacer kits are for the calpiers
escort21 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 The backing plates will need to be removed or modified.......if removed be careful when driving in the rain
andytechno Posted December 6, 2007 Author Report Posted December 6, 2007 u have to becarefull wen driveing in the rain anyway specially in a rwd osf
Admin Vista Posted December 6, 2007 Admin Report Posted December 6, 2007 If you're replacing the discs at the same time then it's worth using the 257mm discs available from Rally design. If you've already got 2.8i discs the pads will work fine and as has been said the overhang isn't that much.
bomber1 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Posted December 6, 2007 nice 1 fellas,can get a spacer kit from retro ford i think for 30 od quid.nice 1 its a good kit that comes with all the bolts needed as well as the spacers that make the calipers fit over vented discs
