mk3 xr3i with rs turbo lump,brakes are shat and i have my old cossie 2wd saff brakes(front and rear) still and want to stick them on,can Zoo do brackets or summit?(obviously more than that for the rears but more bothered about fronts.)i have some 16"rims so clearance should be ok.

 

Should fit if you get the correct brackets yes

I know tonypastie does them brackets for the rear ..... thats where mine came from

 

cheers fella,right,who does brackets?Brom?

 

2wd Cossie 4 Pots dont require brackets to fit to the front of an Escort... They will however require 4mm machining off of the mounting surface of the caliper so that the caliper sits correctly over the 2wd discs.

You'll also need some special brake lines with a 90degree Banjo fitting on the caliper end so that the brake line doesnt foul the driveshaft / hub.

The mounting holes in the hubs will need to be tapped so that the caliper can be bolted on, and the lower mounting hole on the caliper will need to be elongated (stretched) slightly so that it lines up properly with the lower hole in the hub.

I did a better write up than this and i've got it saved somewhere... if i remember i'll dig it out and post it up!

Hope this helps a bit.........

 

cheers fella! if u can find the write up id be muchly appreciative,could ya pm me the info?

 

Agree with Sketch,

I tapped the holes in the Hub though,

Go through it on my website:

holes dont wuite line up you have to re drill and tap them to 12mm you dont need spacers just a little macnining on the hub required

 

cheers all much appreciated!
