as it turns out
1.6 sapphire brakes are fucking crap, i put new (vented) disks and pads on last week and its only a 1.6 pinto and to be honest the rings are gone and it uses more oil than petrol and keeps on going when you turn it off
i took it for a "spireted" drive downhill on the b-road next to my house and after literally four corners the brakes faded so much that i had to slow right down to try not to buckle the disks
i need bigger brakes
what has the biggest 4x108 disks that fit over the wheel studs, when i find some big disks i can find some good calipers and make some brackets to fit them

yeah they've been on about a week or so
its got 16" wheels on, how big generally fit under 16's?
a brake fluid change and some new flexis would proberbly be a good idea but i just want some bigger ones
is there anything even non ford that has good calipers on it, ideally something that would be in the scrap yard, that i can then make fit on a decent sized ford disk,

Easiest route would be 2wd cossie stuff, the hole in the hub just needs tapping to take a bolt, it is already the correct size hole for tapping, so that helps, think it's a 12mm tap run through there.
The just cossie 2wd discs pads calipers.
I did this to my old d reg 2.1 auto sierra, the difference was massive, a world away, and I had 260mm disc to start with with std single piston sliding calipers, so the step up from yours would be even greater.
