They will know what you got and what you need http://www.biggred.co.uk/

They'll be Ford jobbies. Sierra, IIRC.

If they are the same as used on the 400 Chim ,my calipers were stamped with 37 n/s & 38 o/s. If this helps

Just done pads and discs on the front of mine, from memory they are xr4x4 or xr4i on the front and I beleive mk3 fiesta on the rear, I didnt need rebuild parts for mine so thats as much detail as I can give you.

Escort Cosworth or Granada Scorpio 2.9i rear discs I think on the 500s and all later models (273 mm).

Delphi, £45 here:

A Ford service kit would be all you'd need. I agree the 260mm fronts are XR4i.

Just ring up John at Bigg Red and tell him what you have. When I did this he told be simply that there are only 2 piston size diameters for the sierra front calipers which will tells you what kit to buy. It's as simple as that.

We sent our 887/888 calipers in for a full strip down and remanufacturing with them - did a quality job (as they have with everything else I've ever sent them)

I have just rebuilt mine including regalvanizing.
the kits were for sale on German ebay, so probably in UK as well.
you need to look for Sierra caliper rebuilt kit and meassure your piston diametre.
mine was 60 mm and there was also a new bleed nipple in the kit. But being TVR i would not be surprised if there were all kind of "similar" calipers used over the time, so meassure your piston exactly.
Price about 13 GBP each
