vibrating_Cake Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=562_579&products_id=13600&osCsid=b930atc0mefkc8mojithenr6u0 my drums just arent good enough.... are these the right brackets to convert to disks on the rear of a 2.0 capri laser??? i cant remember for the life in me what the diff name is!!!! if these are not the right brackets... what are (other than caprisport ones) and ill have no paddying about me not needing rear disks etc, when you drive hard enough to get the rear drums smoking and setting on fire before the fronts even fade.... they need upgrading!
emu Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Wouldnt that suggest that they are doing too much compared with the fronts? maybe the balance just needs adjusting towards the front? (Im asking rather than telling )
hellblue Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 are these the right brackets to convert to disks on the rear of a 2.0 capri laser??? No, you have an Atlas axle & you will want calipers with a handbrake too, i use the common set up of seirra or scorpio callipers, fiesta front discs,i made my brackets but they are like the caprisport ones dont know who else sells them ???
livewire7116 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 The brackets will fit both english and atlas axles as the stud pattern is the same, i used same brake set up as hellblue but bought a bolt on bracket set from old ford auto services, was excellent quality came with colour photos and all new bolts and nuts and fitted perfect with no messing, highly recommend it just for the no fuss factor, just one more thing to check is that the set up your using clears your wheels as not all do

vibrating_Cake Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 www.oldfordautos.co.uk click on MK1 MK2 escort thankyou very much
vibrating_Cake Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Posted February 26, 2009 www.oldfordautos.co.uk click on MK1 MK2 escort e-mailed them and they said their rear brake brackets will not fit!?!?!? this is because the capper has a different axel to the mk1/2 escort! ( back to square1!!! not up for paying £15 for membership for caprisport JUST to get rear mounting brackets for rear calipers!! anyone???????
livewire7116 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 When i got my kit from them the pics showed brackets in photos and gave to different positions for english atlas, or you can buy the weld on brackets and use s ierra calipers, to be honest i cant see why they wont fit as ive used atlas drums brakes from a 2.8 on my english with no problems at all, so the bolt spacings are identical
