Sierra 4 pod calipers.
I stumbled upon a nice set of 4 pods including new vented discs and new pad's. The calipers needed some cleaning but other than that there is
nothing wrong with them. Yes I know thay are heavy and more than adequate for a indy. But I have 2 questions,
1. Wheels, how many inch as a minimum to fit these kinda 4 pods?
2. Can I fit them on a standard upright?
Marc.

I know that a guy on the Cobra forum had difficulty fitting these 4 pots to a standard sierra upright - apparantly the cosworth uprights are
different.
As far as the minimum size wheels, what did the donor car run - would assume Ford at least got that right!

we have these on our indy with 15" wheels, they are a tight squeeze couldnt go any smaller with the rims, were are using cosorth uprights which
can be fitted using a modified bottom wishbone to accept a different balljoint.
i dont know what the ball joint is off but the wishbones were supplied by mac 1 with the ball joint.

they are the standard 2wd sierra cosworth calipers
you can make them fit the std sierra uprights but I think you need to use cosworth 4x4 discs (278mm) and grind/ mill a little off the mounting lugs to
get them to line up
also I think they use M12's instead of M10's and the lugs on the calipers arn't threaded like on the normal sierra's
Its a little work but its been done before

So16 inch should not be a problem, Thanks. I am halfway cleaning, removed 3 layers of paint before I got to something resembling metal!
