Hi. Anyone know the part number or car the rear brake pads are from?

Just in case it makes any difference, I am just putting on the 330mm discs from Fortune.

Thanks

The rear callipers are from 90s Ford Sierra Cosworth. Paul Chance from Fortuna can supply those pads too.

[EDIT] They should be 90 x 54 x 13 mm.

Can you go as large as 330mm on the back?

You probably can with spacers etc, but why would you want to?

You'd need to have huge fronts to maintain any kind of balance.

I've got 330mm to go on the front but still got standard ones on the back. Fortune don't do any brackets yet to go up to the S spec which are only about 300mm but can't exactly remember.

Maybe I'm reading the first post wrong about him putting on 330mm on the back and he's talking about the front.
Not going that big myself on the back other than S spec if the brackets become available

The 330s are surely for the front.
I don't see a need to go beyond the standards on the rear. I would be concerned to overbrake on the rear axle. All the weight is shifting to the front anyway while braking.

Robert,
I tend to agree with you, the Tuscan S rears actually tend to over brake the rear. Not many folk go bigger rear due to work involved to space the calliper.

Apologies. Yes 330 on the front and the 282R going on the rear if i remeber correctly.

I havent tracked the car yet but hopefully will get one or two done this year so would you recommend going for the Ferodo DS2500 all round?

We can Supply Ferodo DS Performance (TUV Approved), Ds2500, or CL For the rear of that car, all in stock.
We will one day get that bracket sorted, but i need an upright and a caliper to get a CAD drawing done.
