Got some calipers with CN 887 and CN 888 on them in big letters. They have 2199 in little numbers too. Anyone know what they are off ? Bought by a friend as 4wd saff cossie ones for me for the S1 but wanna know if they are ? Any help appreciated. cheeRS

There are so many fwd/4wd ford calipers the same or very nearly the same, might be easier just to try and fit them and see if they do fit ?

My escort cosworth calipers have 887 and 888 marked on them, I think the little numbers may just be some serial number/batch number

So it looks like they are Escos calipers then. Are they the same as saff cossie ones ? They are not 2 or 4 pot, the pad has a bracket on the back and it sits in something like a 2 inch hollow in the caliper and pressure is applied through this. Saff ones are 2 or 4 pot are'nt they
