Hi,

I've just bought some 2nd hand calipers for my Chim as it's still on 240mm & I do quite a few track days.
The person I bought them from never used them but he thought they were from a Griff (hence posting here)
As you can see from the pic they need a good clean up & I want to give them a service too.
So can you ID them so I know what repair kit to buy and pads and braided hoses too.





I can't remember what size the disks are on the front as the couriers messed up & I haven't got them yet, but I think the may have been 283mm?

Also the fronts seem to have 37 stamped near the clip for the bleed nipple, also looks like VL-U ? and maybe 079 but it's difficult to tell with the corrosion (and the other caliper is worse)

The rears have 67321, 052/4 (051/4 on the other side the / might be an A?) & 8282 stamped on them

Hopefully they will fit under my standard wheels even if I need spacers &/or a mounting bracket.


Cheers in advance for your help
Mark

Sorry Rears are Escort cosworth

again cheap as chips dont bother with second hand.
You will need to change bearing carrier if changing from solid rear discs, and again I believe its the same as later seria. I bout them for £20 from scapper

If you want to do the 283 mm conversion at the front then you need some of these big boys:-



A found on Granada Cosworth, 4x4 Sierra Cosworth or Mondeo V6.

Casting number 888 and 887 are stamped on them.

I got these off of ebay complete with braided hoses (which I've already got, so don't need) and (slightly used) red stuff pads for £50 (they don't come up often though), just awaiting a lick of paint wink
