Sierra Cosworth brakes

[2bTom]

I have recently picked up some Sierra Cosworth 4x4 front brake callipers and carriers the single pot ones and they take the 278mm vented discs. My hubs are the Sierra standard ones. So before I try fitting them to my zero has anybody else done this and is there anything to watch out for? Or if these are no good what brakes to go for?

Any advice welcome thanks.

I think that's what I used but it was a while ago and I can't remember what they were described as - do they match these pics from my blog?

Discs looked like this:

I have had a good look on your blog and the front brakes look same as mine as far a I can tell. Can you remember what disks and pads that you got?

Sorry, really can't remember - knowing me they would have been the first thing that came up that were the right size. I never really cared about brand names for parts.

I still haven't changed the pads after 22k miles and they're still at least only half worn , if that. You get so much engine braking with a Zetec that you literally just don't brake anywhere near as much as a normal car.

Ok thanks.
