What are the front brakes off?

[old64er]

What ford are the front and rear brakes off?

[rev-erend]

I'd heard they were ford RS Turbo ... but some brakes (4, 4.3, 5.0 litre) were different sizes.

[Alex]

Fronts are Escort Cosworth (may be the same as RS Turbo?). Rears, not sure.

[old64er]

It seems that they are off an Escort Mk5 1.8si 16V, XR3i 16V or RS2000 16V. The rears maybe the same as a sierra cosworth?

This is from information on the net and part numbers i can get,

Can anyone confirm???

Defo not the Mk5 rs 2000 .. they're *bigger* than the griff 500 discs. I had them on my 3000M with Princess calipers .. think they're about 275mm or thereabouts.

Thanks joolz, this all came about cos of my mate (not too far away from you) has bought a metro with cosworth setup on it, the rears look the same and measure up the same but the fronts are 280mm (rears 270mm).mine are 260mm

I just need to know for future reference really

Ford Granada, or 4x4 Sierra Cosworth. (The 2wd Cosworth used 4 piston calipers).
