Or even remotely similar?????

 

front or back.

 

Front, since we're on the subject are either of them the same....

 

lol,
fronts....

front mounting lugs are different between the two calipers,so they won't fit.

rears....

all the same, even the pads on the 2wd will fit 4x4 rear calipers.

 

FOOK, cheers.......................

 

XR4x4 rear calipers are for solid discs

4x4 cossie rear calipers are for vented discs

 

might be the mounting lugs on the hubs that might be different...

they might be ok.

 

As above - the calipers for the rear 4x4 are only the same as the 2wd rear saph. Also note that the discs are different sizes to the rear even then so the mounting points must be different (though the caliper may be the same)

JJ

 

But the fronts are definately different and won't fit????

 

The main body of the front brakes are the same its the mounting bracket/slider part thats different

 

So if i had the other caliper i could swap them over???

 

if you already have shagged/ siezed cosworth 4x4 front brakes just take the slider from them and attach it to the piston part of the good xr ones

 

I have had both types side by side in the past and it appeared that only the slider part differed due to the mounting hole location and thickness

 

Wicked just what i wanted to know. Thanks a million!

 

the short answer:
no
and no
for the fronts and the rears

the long answer:
the offsets on the front plus the design of the hub are all different so no, they won't fit on the front
the rears "will" fit as all sierar/granada solid discs use the same caliper
in the same way that all vented rears use the same caliper (4wd cos/granada/scorpio cos/granada,scorpio estate) but the moutning points on the bearing carriers are different on the cos versions and different again on the frog eyed scorpio versions
