Being pedantic - the Sierra never had Alloy rear calipers. They were cast Iron.
Those from Rally Design were designed for a VW vehicle. What caliper bore size are they??

I think Hispec has finally released their Sierra rear brake set up. I see that Fisher Sportscars/The Kit Car Workshop have them listed in their Ebay
shop.

Why not use Citroen/Peugeot alloy rear calipers.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

Hi.
Do you know if this VW callipers are direct replacement for the Sierra ones? (I suppose you have the Sierra now fitted...)
If not, will you make an adaptor mount?
Thanks in advance,
Joao Caldeira

they wont bend the disk that much if the hand brake is properly sorted as the force needed to stop a light locost or other kitcar from moving will be
fairly low and the disks are very stiff esp if using vented disks. the only time there would be a problem is if the disk was very hot and the hand
brake was put on as it might warp the disk but even normal handbrakes and hot disks are a bad idea.

I have a pair of the rally design calipers for sale
as I have had to change plans as they dont fit under 13" rims
I can send them back to rally design so make a sensible offer if you want them

That's why I wince when I see people at traffic lights with their brake lights on rather than using the hand brake. The foot brake will warp
all 4 discs whereas the handbrake only does in the rears.

Ah well as I dont have a brake disk temp gauge I will stick with the proper compensating calipers

unless theyve benn absolutely thrashing their cars then i wont be a problem. most modern cars have brakes design to stop the car from well over 100mph
so driving around at 30-40mph wont really get them anywhere near hot enough to warp the disks esp with vented disks.
the only time it could be a problem is trackdays where some people dont think and after having cain the brakes for a few laps come into the pits and
leave the handbrake on.
