Hi
Just looking through the web and noticing that the sierra drum brake including the back plate looks very like that used in the Cortina, just the hub
bearing assembly looks different but they look interchangeable or should I say more interchangeable than the escort ones I have a present
Anyone got some photos or even better a drawing with sizes, if you have a set to sell or swap and could give me a few sizes to check compatibility
that would be fab
cheers
Don't know how interchangeable they are Whipp, but I have complete sets (backplates, drums, cylinders, shoes, springs etc) of 1.6 and 2.0 Sierra
drum brakes in the garage looking for a home if they're any use to you. The 1.6 set are narrower and IIRC slightly smaller dia. and noticeably
lighter than the 2.0 set.
(Yours for the cost of postage and a beer)
ETA....Happy to take some snaps and measurements tonight if you like.

No probs - I'll measure up tonight and drop you an email with some snaps attached.
I'm sure that's a random web image, but just to highlight, the Sierra drums are 4 stud not 5 stud.
Cheers

Just emailed you with pics and dims etc.
Hi there do you still have the smaller 203mm rear drums from the 1.6?,
I'm after the mechanicals to retrofit a cortina axle. I've got the wheel cyl and drums, just need all the linkages, handbrake lever ,
springs etc?

Hi Mr Whippy,
I've been searching the site for the info on fitting 9" Sierra drum brakes to the Cortina (Koln) axle as I want to do the same thing. If you
don't mind me asking how did you get on with this? What mods were needed?
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Martin.
