ZetecVan 2.0 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 For the Milton rear brake conversion, I got the rear calipers off a Granada (blobby scorpio type)
sambo Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Posted August 11, 2008 Cheers guys, does it have to be the cosworth rear calipers or is it ok to use the std s1erra ones? I am thinking about getting these......???? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SIERRA-2WD-REAR-C ... .m14.l1318
5hane Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 heres what ive got, ust got to get the refurbed (can get tem done £100 the pair ) i need mk 1 (think) solid front disks, some brackets, and a mk5 escort cable (think) and something done to the half shafts
sambo Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Posted August 11, 2008 Are they just standard s1erra ones then Shane?? Not cossie jobbers?
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 I was under the impression the cossie and granny ones were the same. (the picture above looks like mine) Anyhoo, they're rear brakes so won't need to be as powerful as the front ones, so if they're not the same, they'd be very similar.
V8ian Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 I have been looking at the rear brakes on my cortina recently, They are already discs from a Mk3 escort front and Scorpio calipers , which does the job well enough, it was only when I was down the tire shop the other day looking at the discs and calipers on the back of a Golf, not so much the discs but the callipers, they are ally, I dont know how much less they weigh, but its probably a lot less than the cast iron granadas weigh, got to be worth a thought!! looking at the rear of audis they too they seem to have the same caliper as well,
Airbag Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 Are they just standard taxi ones then Shane?? Not cossie jobbers? i think they are all the same, people tend to say they have cossie callipers cuz it sounds better
sambo Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Posted August 11, 2008 Cheers guys, i am massivley over braked at the back end at the moment!! the calipers i have will be great front brake upgrades for an osf!!
PIG Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 granada scorpio rear calipers on mine with machined down 1.1 fiesta solid disc's.ive had to reduce the rear pad area on mine as well as i was still suffering with rear brakes locking from high speeds with all the bias wound to the fronts as well
