Hi all,

I'm fitting capri vented discs to my car and wondered what calipers to use.

I was thinking mainly about using Mondeo calipers as they are cheap and powerful.

I know I can used sierra/granada calipers but is there anything else without going to expensive 4 pots. I've heard people recommend using 260 calipers but surely that would be a waist as the pads will over lap the discs by 15mm and not be completely used?

I can make up the brakets to suit but wanted something cheap and easy to find/replace.

Cheers,

Poe.

Peugeot 205 1.6 GTi (bendix) calipers should fit on with a small spacer under the pad carrier. They are mostly ali and weigh about a 3rd what a sierra caliper weights. I use the non-vented version on my hillclimb/sprint Locost with Mintex M1144s and used the vented version on my 205 with the same pads and they have been all I ever needed on both. Can be picked up for about £40 a pair.

You definitely don't need anything bigger on a Locost!

P.S. I presume its on cortina uprights?

You can make any caliper fit as long as your disc O/D and thickness are correct.
