brake pads

[Grizzley Dell]

are the pads all the same in m16 calipers, escort verses capri 2,8. i know the discs are vented on the cappa but are the pads different as well???? cheers

same size and compound yes, you want uprated compound ? try rolls royce pads, some rollers use M16 calipers (2 per wheel) but use a harder compound and are cheaper than green stuff but dont get cheap ones cos they will be all the same compound.

Also there's 2 M16 calipers, a larger one with bigger pad area on the cortiona P100 and larger engined Mk2 grannys

, i have MNk2 granny calipers on 3 cortinas 1 with 13" sports steels, 2 with 13" laser alloys

 

Here's the 2 calipers side by side, hardly huge in comparison teh pad hole is larger is all and on teh granny they use 14" as standard so how you get only 15s ?

 

:?

theyre normal 2.8 calipers i think. mine are off a 2.8i ghia x, they are bigger than any of my others. the 2.8 granny used m16's or so im told.

[bortaf]

Yep just with a bigger pad hole, the outer body is the same though that's granny and normal M16's in that pics

they go

P14 smaller engined escorts

M16 normal (capri, RS escort, cortina and small engined grannys)

M16 vented 2.8 capri

M18 non vented (cortina P100 2.3 granadas)

M18 vented 2.8i granadas

 

normal M16 caliper

 

 

M18 vented (note the spacer betwen the 2 halves of the caliper and teh larger pad hole

 

 

ignor the M or P that just denotes wether metric or imp threads, the M16 and M18s use the same size pistons so no master cylinder mods are required

 

The M18 was offerd by ford on the 3.0 X paxk capri as a brake upgrade along with vented discs which were robbed from Xpack Rs escort and calipers from the granada but they would have used 7 inch RS/ronaL 4 spokes.

 

I see what you meen by looking larger actually sorry the hump is wider and i spose could catch on a differant offset wheel ? but as i say i have em on 3 cortinas on 13s

 

I thinks that pretty much it for fittments i'm sure somone will add if i've missed anything

[Grizzley Dell]

cheers for that info. very useful. i will fit them up and see what rims i can get to fit over them.
