What are my brakes?1999 Griffith 500

Hi I am trying to track down what car my brakes were originally made for? I think it is an escort cosworth mk2 according to one website but I am not sure found loads on how to upgrade etc but not what they originally were.... They are ford but that is as far as I have got so far thanks in advance Alex

Have a look in barretis rather good wiki spares thingy at the top of the forum - lists brake sizes and part nos

Thanks for nudge forgot that was there! Covers rear calipers which is great but not front just pads and bigger conversions to 887/888 not originals....

Just checked and the main casting number is 37 /38

Thanks again Al

Sierra or xr4i rings a bell?
Cossie ones would probably be upgrades?

The spec of the rear brakes is the same for all engine size cars, but the spec of the front brakes is different for 4.0 / 4.3 or 5.0 and you need to know what size rotors you have currently
If you look in the wiki at the EBC table for your size rotors you can work backwards from there to find which Ford they are from with a quick search
