a set of 4x4 (front) Cossie calipers?

Need to get hold of a pair in good working order, dust seals and bleed nipples all in good order, but don't want to be paying over the odds for em jsut cos they bear the COSWORTH tag.....

any idea's? Also input from RS breaker folk on here would be good

 

i sold my set for £175

 

 

Ryan had a set of the better 2WD 4 pots for sale not long ago mate, think he still has them

 

seen them as cheap as 100 quid, but they are normally gone very very quick at that sort of price!

 

i seen 2wd brakes go for circa 100

woulda thought the 4x4 ones went cheaper!

matt if you wanna use spacers + S2 calipers, i havea set of S2 calipers in my shed i dont want nothing for... but they been in there a while n will probably want a quick service

 

i got mine for 100 quid off some on Fiestaturbo.com, got goodridge braided hose with them aswell

 

I have the pair off my car from when it was 4x4 @ £100 with part worn pads

 

Pikie - gotta be 4x4 ones I think as I'm sure the 2WD 4-pots need machining down to fit and thats what I wanna avoid - same reason I don't wanna go S2 caliper route as you need brackets, etc, which are £40 plus the cost of a pair of S2 calipers thought maybe 4x4 Cos items would be cheaper, or at least break even.....

Spadgeroo - what condition these in and you open to negotiation per chance my good man?

 

ill give you my calipers for FREE

and i think ginge (b19bal) has the spacers still he'd give ya for not a lot of dosh

worth PMing him

 

Hold that thought then Jim as I *might* take you up on it, but still want to explore this 4x4 caliper thing first....

Reason being I am led to belive that 4x4 calipers jsut simply bolt straight up with 2WD discs, as shown here;

4x4 caliper fitting guide

So I would be interested in that more than having a multitude of washers, spacers, and brackets...

 

I had 4x4's for 100 including the disks

 

Now THAT sounds like a decent price

Spadge - wanna match?

 

If you can find one in the scrappy, 2,5 mondeo calipers are the same. I got a set on my car and they fi tthe 283mm 2wd disks a treat.

Being Mondeo they don't need 'cossie tax'

 

Interesting...... Will they fit onto the S1 hubs tho without any fooking about????????????????????

(oh and what year/shape mondeo?)

 

also granada cossie ones ... stuxr4x4 might have some, ill ask him tomorrow for ya

 

Thrush i cannot do them cheaper chap sorry!
These came off my car and so with over 400hp i think i should know they worked mate

 

Jim- yeah check please mate

Spadge - fair do's fella - been offered a pair for £90 now, so unless I get a cheaper lead on the Mondy or Granny calipers then I'd be best off going to the £90 bloke....

But! I shall bear you in mind since I think I know a mate who may also be after a set - so not all hope lost there Spadgeroo

 

thrush remember penny wise, pound stupid, spadge looks after his stuff, it worked ect and off his car

ya dont know when ya buy em off another person for 10 quid cheeper


i know what i would do tbh

but then i wouldnt be mnessing about with the 4x4 caliper route as the s2 and brackets actually work better

infact tbh ya could have standard erst brakes and decent disks


the cheep option aint always as cheep as ya think

may have some brembos going for sale though, big disc's ect, not 90 quid though as i gotta cover me costs

 

Got 1 brand new 1 for £50

 

he just needs to find another now

 

Jsut been offered a set of Escort Cos front calipers for £40

Ginge - don't want big disc's tho mate - want to keep the std 15" rims so 283mm 2WD discs are the max for them.....

EsCos and Saff cos calipers are the same innit??????

 

yeah they are the same, also the same as scorpio calipers, so remember that when people sell em as escos calipers

 

So long as they are the same thing I don't give a fook what name they are sold under

I would buy Spadges ones for the reasons you said Ginge - but facts are facts, and facts is I ain't got £100 + postage for a set of calipers I just ain't, nothing else to it... As it is I still gotta get hold of a new pair of discs and a new pair of pads, thats easily another £100

 

Sorry, another question - gonna want to fit braided lines too (Goodrich? anyone on here do em aswell?) Waht do I want - RSTurbo fitment or 4x4 Cos fitment??????

Never used em before so don't know

 

Lennie has them spacers now. I took them off the struts today.
