evening all,

does anybody know where i can buy some single pot rear cosworth calipers, ive had a look on ebay but couldn't find any decent ones, that i could just bolt on, as i dont want to refurb a pair.

thanks

wait a bit. There were loads on eBay a few weeks ago when I bought some. There'll be load on again soon no doubt. They don't have to be cosworth ones, any sierra or granada ones will do as far as I know.

I bought some remanufactured ones of eBay. They are really good. Just as good as new infact.

i was thinking about getting cossie front calipers of jim at stoneliegh tomorrow, they are in gold, and a set of those rear sierra calipers from the link above to fit the rear of the car, i am running 260mm x 24mm (drilled,grooved and vented) on the front, and 253mm x 10.1 (solid grooved and drilled) on the rear would these calipers be ok?

cheers guys

You definately don't want to try and put 4pot cossie 2wd calipers on the front - overbraked/weigh a ton and won't fit standard sierra uprights.

Rear calipers for disc braked cars are roughly all the same caliper so if you buy anything 'cosworth' your paying a premium just for the name.

The cosworth 4x4 (sierra/escort & granada) rear calipers are different as they are for vented 273mm rears.
