AP CP5200's as rear callipers?
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.

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

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!!

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?

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
