Sierra rear disc conversion
DaveFJ - 16/5/06 at 01:02 PM

OK - I know this has been covered but I can't find the relevant thread/s

I want to put discs on the back of my Avon, I know I need mounting plates - which i intend to get from MNR.

BUT.. which discs do i need ? are they standard Sierra items ?

same for calipers ? they come up on eBay all the time but tend to be Cosworth calipers - are these actually different?

cheers

You want sierra 2wd std 2.0 or sierra 4x4 2.0, 2.8 or 2.9 rear calipers (all the same) and std sierra solid 253mm rear discs.

You can also take the rear calipers of a Scorpio, they should be the same and probably easier to find.

Careful as depending on year/model some scorpios have vented rears.

Late face lifted Scorpio's with the silly grill were 4 stud and the earlier Granada/Scorpio's were 5 stud.
