the simple answer is you really need either the cossie uprights too or to stick with the normal sierra brakes.

I had this same problem years ago on a rally car, even tapped out the upright (on the cossie the upright is threaded, on the std sierra the caliper is threaded!!) but the offset is all wrong and the ears on the upright are a bit spindly to go altering (you will probably find that they need thinning down!)

The only way they will fit normal sierra uprights is if you machine 4mm off the caliper mounting lugs.

Sierra/Escort cosworth 4x4/Granada calipers will go straight on with 2wd 283mmcossie discs, However i've gone for xr4i/mk4 rs turbo calipers on new brackets with 2wd 283mm cosworth discs which are supposed to give 5% better braking than the 4x4 cossie calipers due to pad area location!
