need to know what size ive got to drill out my escort hub for fit cosworth calipers...

is it 12mm? not 100% sure...

 

What size is the bolt to go through

 

not sure how to measure it..

its just the standard 4wd caliper bolt

 

i think its 12mm but i just want to make sure before i do it...

anyone?

 

its 10mm, 12mm is Mondeo V6 Callipers

 

^^ thats just confused me lol..

i was quite sure it was 12mm but just needed somesome else word before i start drilling...

and then you said 10mm...hmm how could i check myself (measure it)

 

if you have cosworth 4x4 calipers you don't need to drill out the hubs

if you have mondy v6 calipers you do and yes 12mm , they are basically the same calipers but larger bolts

to check - take off your old caliper and see if the bolt goes through the hole , if i remember right you have to cut down the bolt too

 

the standard bolt obviously goes throught the hub but its to small for the cosworth caliper, the cosworth caliper bolts are to big for the hub bolt hole....

it does need drilling out, but im not sure to what size..

i thought it was 12mm, and my mate thinks its 12mm, but i just wanted to see what people on here think, but then SiZT said drill it out to 10mm...

 

if your standard bolt doesn't fit the "cossy" calipers then you have a mondeo v6 calipers not cosworths

you need to drill the hubs out to 12mm and probably cut i few threads off the bolts

 

this is getting a fooking joke...

i had them off my "mate"...saying they wer 2wd discs and 4wd calipers, and will go straight on..then finding out there 4x4 discs so i had to get some 2wd discs...now finding out there mondy calipers and ive got to drill the hubs!

bit of a joke!

 

the v6 calipers are basically the same as 4x4's but have different sized bolts , you will need to drill out the hubs and also space out approx 1mm

but , if like me , you cant find any 1mm washers, i had to mill 2mm off the face of the carrier and use 3mm washers !

i also found that the outside edge of the discs caught the carrier so took a grinder to the carrier too !

 

the mondy v6 calipers bigger than the 4x4 ones? this isnt going to cause a problem with clearance is it using v6 ones?

 

they are the same size and fit snuggly behind s1/s2

 

some good news at last lol...

ive just rang me mate i had them off and he said they are 100% cosworth ones, but you have to still drill the hub out to 12mm...

hes coming round inabit i think to have a nose...

thanks for that though chap..

 

if you can find the part numbers they are :
(all right hand side)

escort 4x4 cosworth (r/h) - V92AB 2L231 AA
sierra 4x4 cosworth (r/h) - 91GB 2L231 AA
mondeo V6 MK1/early mk2 (r/h) - 93BB 2L231 BA
mondeo V6 MK2 97on (r/h) - 97BG 2L231 BA

i am 99% sure you will have mondy calipers though or at least mondy carriers

 

cheers for that mate..

il go and have a look now...

 

cant make out what it says...

they have been resprayed in red and cant make out what the code is

 

then he's talking crap mate

the only cossie calipers that used the M12 bolts were the ones fitted to the granada/scorpio cosworth's from 92 onwards

for the hassle, you might as wlel have got some mondeo mk3 calipers and some ST170 discs and a simple 300mm conversion that was ready to bolt on with just the bolt holes opening up to the required 12mm

 

heres a pic of them...



can anyone make out what they are by the pic?

 

That pic imo is 2wd discs and 4x4 calipers/mondeo calipers

 

yer i know there 2wd discs..

just wondering on the caliper...is it true that the 4x4 cosworth and v6 mondeo caliper is the same apart from the piston size? (cosworth is bigger)

 

they both have the same size pistons

 

same apart from the bolts are different , oh and normally the price , mondy calipers about £10 from breakers
