Discs

[irishmex2]

Lads tryin to get my brake stuff together so i can begin to put them on my car.
With the rear disc conversion rally d use peugeot 405 discs. Would these work with front callipers of a sierra or am i wasteing my time with these callipers
Also I want to use a hydralic hand brake if that makes a difference
Cheers

Hi,
I have Escort Mk3 discs with sierra cosworth rear calipers on an Atlas axle. Easy fit, but don't know how it brakes yet. (Axle is about 20kms from the car, and will stay there untill car is ready for it ).
Discs are cheap (approx 50euros incl. shipping), calipers aren't that expensive either.

Hope to have helped,

Bart

Hi!
I am not sure but I belive I read in Classic Ford that they did not recomend to fit front-callipers on the rear axel? Why,I don´t know.....

Or maybe I am wrong??

And there is another long thread in the tech section which explains why you don't need big calipers on the rear of a Tarmac escort.
