Escort cossie rear brake calipers are the same as sierra saph (4x4 cossie) ones (i've had one of each!) but can't remember if 2wd ones are the same

Hi mark good to see you have some pics up ,are they different rear arches as they dont look like standard ones.I Also have done my dash like you have yours i got the idea from an early tiger demo car(not built by them).
looks realy good will have to meet up at a show next year or something providing i am all sva,d up

There are only 2 kinds of rear caliper on sierra axles: solid discs or vented discs

Escort Cossie's, 4x4 Sierra Cossie's and Granada 24v Cossies have vented ones

Sierra 2wd Cossies, ABS Sierra 2.0's, XR4i's, XR4x4's, Granada 2.0's and so on have the solid ones

That's cos the pics in his archive are of a Six - not an Avon (apart from the ones with the 'blade engine.)
