Just looking at these , what is needed to complete the conversion , what discs etc and any drilling etc .do i need different pads , i have the early 252mm rear solid discs , thought the conversion would be the best way to go with my the front upgrade .

Hi Daren,you need the 273mm rear vented discs with those calipers(wider claw)but you need different bearing carriers(holes spaced 10mm further out from centre)you re-use your hub flanges,wheel bearings are the same but strongly recommend changing them,done this upgrade this year
YHM concerning the carriers
dont expect noticeable stopping power but i needed to replace a lazy caliper and i already upgraded the fronts some time ago so thought what the hell
i used that very same Ebayer for the calipers no problems A+,also went to the bother of repacing the handbrake cable NOS Gen Ford,i now have a reasonable handbrake that works well with out pulling the lever out the car ![laugh](/inc/images/laugh.gif)

any one got part numbers to complete the upgrade .
What for the bearing carriers? they are not Pt numbered anyway,new ones would be of no benefit unless the bearings have spun in the housings,i was quoted over a ton + VAT each at a Ford dealer for new ones(still available)a good s/hand pair should need nothing more than new bearings and a lick of paint Edited by SILICONE KID on Tuesday 17th November 20:57

It's the Cossie 300mm rear kit, comes with new brackets and rotors/bells. Seems to balance the setup nicely. You're welcome to pop over and have a look if you want.

I have the early set up , 252mm solid , they do look a bit pathetic .I just wanted to bring them up to the same spec as the front cossie set up .. I`m still not sure what i need to complete the conversion .it now seems very complicated .I would be interested in the later standard set up what would i need and is it a bolt off bolt on job .

Could you email me the contact for the bearing carriers as I have the same calipers and hope to fit them over the winter.
Thanks

Interesting link, some cars stand out that much they get their own section, not just under a particular manufacturer! http://www.compbrake.co.uk/BRAKEKITS_TVR_GRIFFITH....
