Hi, am looking to put a standard disc straight onto the back of my escort and use 4pot calipers. I've heard the st170 front discs will fit but I'll have to machine the hub for them to fit over.....and ideas? Cheers
I have st170 items on mine I just took some off the caliper an made me own brakets
cost me 40 quid all in
they fit straight on the hub its the carrier and caliper you need to take few mill off ,don't see point in machining the disc like most do as you have do it everytime you change them
Cheers, I tried the the standard front escort ones on and they never fitted over the hub, for some reason I thought they would be the same.... I'm putting on billet 4 hi spec calipers on......that's cheered me up...I'll get them ordered, ta
What have you used to space the caliper from the bracket, looks like blue tube in the pic, obviously I take it it's a piece if metal tube painted blue? What length is the spacer? also what thickness is the st170 disc as apposed to the 4x4 rear disc where it mounts to the hub face, does it push the wheel out or require longer wheel studs ?
Think it's 14mm but unsure as car 250 miles away
At the min you need make mounting brackets aswell
Flat plate with holes in il dig you some pictures out tomro
Nite mate
the blue part is tube tured down to 14mm If I remember and as dave says you need take some off the carrier ,my car is with ^^^dave above if you need some measurments
Not meaning to sound stupid so apologies if it is, but isn't the pad only touching like half of the disc?
Yes it does, but all 300mm set ups that use the original caliper are the same, unless you buy bells and rotars. Best way to stop any corrosion in the unswept area is to mask it up and dust over it with some matt lacquer.
