Rear Disc Brakes
The drum brakes on my donor car don't look to good and i tried to get new ones, to no avail as they are no longer in stock at Ford.
My question is; how hard is it to replace with Disc or should I just go with the drum brakes?

All the bits are available except the adjusters for sierra, escort and cortina.
I have the full set up off a mk6 escort can on my cortina axle. Works a treat Every bit is available still.

it's a Sierra 1.8 (H) and Ford in Aberdeen said " they no longer stock to back plate and all the bits ". Is fitting Disc's a
real b***er of a job?

Hi ewan
I personally would convert to disk many kit suppliers do the brackets to do this mnr charge around 30 quid for the brackets then got to source
calipers and disk but will be worth it

Drums are available but they cost about £35 each new.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
