No, you'd need to extend the hub lugs. Plus have 15" wheels as well.

ive got 17s on it so no problem there, so im guessing cossie hubs are needed?

No your wheels are fine, you just need too drill the holes out and tap them as cossie hubs take bigger bolts than standard hubs

Are you sure they fit straight on? As you definitely need to move the lugs on the rear brakes to get Cosworth brakes on.
Normal Sierra disks are 240/260mm, 2WD cos are 283, so a fair difference.

You can just fit the cossie hubs to the rear. For the fronts the calipers bolt the other way round. Instead of the pad carrier being threaded like it is on a normal sierra you need to tap the hub for the 2wd calipers to bolt too.

Just need to drill the hole in the hub out
Simplest method to big brakes without the need to pay Cossie tax on the calipers (I've got some in t garage if you need dimensions and measurements if you have the heart set on the Cossie conversion, hubs as well, but don't forget you'll need the Cossie tcas as well)

Hi peeps. Baisicly i want the 2wd four pots on the front with braided lines and tbh i thought the rear brakes were the same but if there not ill convert the rears too. The 4x4 rears are vented arnt they? Can i fit them if i just change the hubs?

dojj

iTrader: (3)

yes you can, i just so happen to has a set of rear cossie 4wd hubs as well

with dust shields

but i think i may have prommised them to mat to measure up and compare with the 2wd ones

You'll need cossie bearing carriers, or if you're good with a welder, you can modify the standard ones. You will also need 4x4 caliper carriers - they allow for the thicker discs - caliper is exactly the same.

no they ain't, they are wider as well

Ah cool well if you have any bits for sale ill buy it all in july. Brakes badly needed

I am a confident welder but dot really fancy welding something that holds my brakes on lol

So my oarts list should be,

2wd 4 pot calipers
2wd discs
2wd cossie braided hose set
4wd bearing carriers
4wd calipers and carriers
4wd rear discs

Is that all i need yea???
