cortnia hubs/sierra calipers

Hi ,

Is it possible to fit sierra front calipers to cortnia uprights i know the bolt holes dont line up but is there a way of bracket to convert? has any one here done this?

Some advise would be nice. If not what is a good braking option

Wouldn't it be a backwards step?

Sierra calipers are massive (ie. heavy!) but single piston.

Think Cortina are dual piston aren't they?

Cheers,
James

The cortina/taunus has a piston left and right from the disk. Sierra has only one.

If I would upgrade, I would look for some cooled disk and 4 pistons/caliper

if you want to go that route, look at caprisport.

they do upgrades using the sierra calipers for cortinas and capris ( essentially the same ).

Ok thanks chaps will have a look at the capri site.... and see what offerings they have

I think wilwood 4pots might be a nice buy?
