Help ID my Sierra hub carriers pls!
I have a box of various parts ( I assume Sierra) and have rear hub carriers in two sizes. I've noted on the pic below but the furthest distance
from the mounting points for the hub and the caliper mount is around 11mm longer on one. Does anyone know what they are? Is one from a Cosworth, to
allow for bigger brake discs?
The O/D for the bearing itself is measuring up as just under 68mm, so I assume the carriers are from a Sierra with ABS, or a Cosworth (see

The longer lugs are for the bigger discs on the cossies
Can't confirm the bearing sizes just now, but the bigger one could be from either a 2wd sierra cossie, 4x4 sierra cossie, escort cossie or
Granada 24v cossie. - they should all be the same as each other except possibly the 2wd sierra one as it uses the bigger stub axles too
The smaller one could be from any sierra with rear discs including the xr4x4 - they are all the same though so it doesn't matter were they
came from originally

Cheers, mostly what I suspected but strangely both take the same size bearing...

bearing size is the same for all of them (as per the burtons link)
http://www.burtonpower.com/wheel-brg-kit-r-ford-sierra-cosworth-xr4x4-abs-granada-mk3-brt910.html
its the drum braked sierra's that have smaller bearings (60mm O/D )
so the only noticeable difference should the length of the caliper mounting lugs
the short ones will suit the std. 253mm solid discs
the long ones will suit the 273mm ones - either vented or solid depending on the caliper

Cheers - gotcha. I thought you were suggesting the longer lugged one should have different bearings...
Strangely I have 3 of the 'short' ones and 1 of the 'long' ones, but it's good to understand what I have!
Also handy to know about the smaller bearings for the drum set up. I have both a disc and a drum back end available (although the disc parts are all
stripped and driveshafts and calipers already refurbed - so I intend to use them - the drum stuff is bolted to the Sierra shell on my drive!)
