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
IF ITS NOT BROKEN DON'T FIX IT....

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
Please feel free to correct my bad English, i'm still learning. Your Dutch is awfull! :-)

if you want to go that route, look at caprisport.
they do upgrades using the sierra calipers for cortinas and capris ( essentially the same ).
