Quick question, does anyone make a bracket for an Escort Cosworth to allow AP 4 pots (Cp 5200's) to be used as rear callipers, but leaving the original ford callipers in place to make use of the mechanical handbrake facitily? What size rotors would be good to compliment the fronts? (6 pots on 362's) 330's to keep the balance right? . I don't really want to mess about fitting a bias valve unless I have to.

 

Martin Hadland does i believe.

 

 

do you need to fit a bias valve with this?

 

why do you need such savage braking capability on the rear?

 

Because on a 4x4 you can and it makes a huge difference.

 

furry muff.

 

For some reason my PC won't display pictures, I take it that is what Martin has posted? ... How much please martin, PM me if you like

 

up up up

 

it all makes sense now pmsl

 

.. Up for Martin to see, tried to call a couple of times but no answer

 

up

 

Give me a call at work and I will go through it with you.. 0121 458 6010

 

big brakes on the rear are good.

But just get some rear calipers rather than front ones.....

Mine were cheap 2nd hand.

 

Cool, I did ring on friday a couple of times, thought you were probably flat out as normal , I already have the callipers, just PM me a price for the brackets/bells and rotors if you like save disturbing you at work

 

Pukka idea that Martin

 

does this set-up need a bias valve? I am assuming it does

 

ahhh this is what i need..will did you find out the price??

 

I like them hhhmmmm maybe one day!

 

BTT.

 

I have 380mm AP 6 pots on the front and 330mm AP 4 pots on the back and Martin did all mine.

The braking is UN-FUCKIN BELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!! thats why!!! LOL

Only worrying thing is really that if you brake hard the car behind you can't stop as quick..............its a big worry when you going down the motorway and then the outside lane just stops!!

 

I take it you have a bias valve fitted?

 

I dont run one and its fine

 

What are you running on the back of your Dingy ?

 

Surely the piston area is way too big on a front caliper to use on the rear (hence bias valve required?) wouldnt it be better to buy propper rear calipers?

 

Nope. Because your increasing the braking by approx 75% both front and rear with my conversion you don't need one. If you had 330's both front and back then maybe you'd need one on the back.

 

hi will

i have had these on the car a good few yrs now and the breaking is fooking awesome

you can ask anyone that his been in my car will tell you the same it's doesn't matter about rwd or 4wd they are just the bollocks they do fookink work and work proper too

you defo need the biast adjuster and you have to keep the compensator valve on aswell other wise they will lock up





marco

 

Marco who fitted them to your car??

 

ive only got uprated st170 disks/pads on mine and drums on the rear and fook me do u nearly go thru the windscreen

Carry on
