Default Cossy brakes on a Puma

Anyone ever fit 3 door front calipers to a Puma?
just wondering if 4x4 cossy discs will do the job?

Why dont you try mk3 mondeo calipers with pads and st170 300mm front discs. They bolt straight up with no modifications using the standard brake lines. Used them on my puma turbo and they were very good

I'd go with the mk3 mondy route and 300mm discs, the 3 door 2wd calipers are very good but also VERY heavy, will give more than enough brake effort in a car the weight of a puma, but they will cost more than the mondy stuff, and also need brackets unlike the mondy stuff, I'd use some EBC yellowstuff pads.

Cheers for the replies. I already have the calipers and the only hub mod appears to be to drill out the mounting lugs. The offset of the disc is the issue. The car needs new discs & pads for mot anyhow so thinking of a cheap upgrade. hopefully going to get a 4x4 disc to try at the weekend

They do fit, you just need to shave off the abs ring to get the disc over

The height of the puma 240 and 258 discs are 43, the 278 cossie 4wd disc is 36, so you have a 7mm mismatch to sort.
