i put some escort disc and calipers on my fiesta rs, i had to space the caliper out by 10mm-ish, i used big washers for now untill i make some solid spacers up.
sounds like you got to do the same, dunno how much you have to space it out, that you will have to see, get a load of washers and try it, mind you i used thick washers about 2-3mm thick

Faye you shouldn't need anything other than a 1 or 2mm washer, you only need a plate when you're using standard RST calipers like me

Sexy-RS

Ah sorted so i just need some washers Im sure i can find some of them on the garage floor somewhere

jayRS

i should of said also, because i had to space mine out a bit i used longer bolts too, your gunna need washers with 10mm hols in.
let me know how much you had to space them out, i like to know these things to help others, and mabey for myslef

Will do If the bloody auto part place will hurry up and get me to matching tca's
They gave me odd ones one black and one silver the black one was thinner with no bush's!!! The silver one 10x better quality and thicker!!! Went back and they can not find another silver one!!!! And they only have left tca's in the black so even if i did want the black i could not!!! They are supposed to be contacting me when they got me 1 i been waiting a week

I have cossie 4*4 callipers on my rst using 2wd discs and the pads do not make contact with the hole disc, any ideas?

jayRS

1 weeks good, i waited about 2 years 2 months for a steering rack for my fiesta from ford!

jayRS

wrong pads mate, i had a nightmare trying to find pads for my calipers because when i got them S/H they didn't have pads so i tried 5 differnt pads b4 getting the right ones

tonyk

what did u get in the end, I have 4*4 pads, 2wd pads and rst pads lol..

jayRS

i was told that the saf caliper pads are different to the escort cos caliper pads? not sure on this as i always thought 4x4 saf and escort 4x4 cos calipers were the same.
anyhow, they list differnt pads for the cossie, i was after mintex and tried a few, then after all that maty had a set of uni part which fitted like a glove, but i didn't get them! i eventually found some, knowing what they looked like shape wise.
i have got the part number for mintex, the ones o got had the wear indercators on but i cut them off cos i couldn'y be bothered to wait for the others.
parts number for the escort cos pads in mintex are :
with wear indercators- MDB 1810
without wear indercators MDB 1895
if you have sierra saf cos calipers they may not fit?

jayRS

sorry should of said, my calipers were of a 92 escort cos, dunno if this made a differnt but the pads i asked for were for the 92 year so parts numbers may be different for later model
