P.s. the disks are saff cosworth

 

anyone??

 

They are definately not RST calipers.

 

cheers for the reply. Someone with cossie calipers could probably answer this one....

 

if they are cossie ones, they are not the 2wd type

i dont no what the 4wd ones look like, sorry

 

Is there not a part number on them? Single pot calipers all look terribly alike

 

yes mate they are 4x4 cossie

 

as above they look exactly like mine mate...

pretty sure they r!

 

Enlighten me for future reference, how can you tell the difference?

 

dunno the difference... but they look exactly like mine....

and mine r 4wd 1s

 

cheers mate thank you very much.

Just hope Questmed dont mind me swaping these rs turbo pads for the 4x4 saff ones.

By the way, how come granada pads fitted these calipers? they the same then?

 

calipers r the same i think but bolt fixin bolt sizes r bigger on granada... hence y i had to drill out my mounts a bit bigger to bolt mine straight up (with 1mm spacer between hub n caliper)...

 

cheers steve.

Slightly off topic, how do u do one of those things with your car pic on there? ive got one ready but how the hell do i link it to my profile!

 

open an account on www.photobucket.com

up load the pic... then copy past the 'IMG' link and put it in ur sig in ur profile!

job done!

 

Yes they are 4x4 front calipers. But are also the same as many other calipers fitted to other cars.

The way to tell is by looking at the hole in the caliper. The shape of it gives away what it is.

 

Nice one

 

yes mate there cossie calipers they look like 4x4 one's if there should be numbers on each caliper one will be higher than the other for example gn27 and gn28 but im 99% sure there cossie calipers

 

The calipers have differenet markings depending on what car they came off.

The best way to tell is as above.
