BRAKES

[v8 mark]

Does anyone know what spec/models the brake pads and discs are from for griffs, all years. Understand griff 500 were sierra xr4? What about 4.3 and 4.0 models.

You gotta be kidding!

Even TVR don't know exactly what they fitted. I have seen claims that TVR used:

Escort
Sierra
Sierra Cosworth
Escort Cosworth
Escort Turbo
Sierra Xr4 x4
Granada Scorpio (with four hole drilled into the disc)
to name but half a dozen. So this is why many of us say check and double check because you cannot say with any real guarentee it is so and so. Might be. Equally might not. Same is also true with brake pads as while the pad outline is similar that pad shape and thickness (and whether it has wear sensors, scollops cut in it and so on) the pad varies. Some fit and some don't.

You can search through this and the Chimaera archives and find a myriad of part numbers.

Why do you ask?

Trust tvr to have a parts bin for every model. Just curious, about what was fitted to my car and other models?

As Steve said, they will be Ford based, but which exact spec. is not neccessarily certain.

One way is to get the pads off and take them to an auto factor, or local garage to get them matched up.

Best way is to find your local 'Motorpart' dealer in the yellow pages as they are vastly more helpful than the local Ford dealer will be once you admit to not knowing which car the parts are from. (and therefore admitting you don't own a Ford......)

Did the discs and pads on a 4.3 Griff a couple of months ago, took the old items off, and went down the motorfactors, after offering them up to all the performance ford bits, found them to be Sierra 2.2 Diesal
