Stupid question - how thick are 5 penny washers? Id rather have spacers made up than use washers.

M Brian :is there any chance of getting them under 14s?

Sorry to be so blunt, but no chance!! Ive got 15"s and i had to remove the balancing weights to get the wheel to turn! Look how thin they are!

by **M Brian** on Fri Sep 12, 2003 8:16 pm

are they closer to the front/spokes or the inner rim of the wheel?

its difficult to tell from the pic

by **penfoldian** on Sat Oct 25, 2003 10:18 pm

I just want to stop when i want to!!! so please erm, can i use red dot brakes? or should i just look for a messed up cossie and leech off the parts?

by **Sphinx** on Tue Nov 11, 2003 12:04 pm

ignore, double post

by **Sphinx** on Tue Nov 11, 2003 12:05 pm

MadcatCraig :soz guys

yeah only 4x4 cossie calipers work

you cna use the sierra setup as i did

or escort cosworth ones work just the same

2wd cossie ones dont tho

So Sierra Cossie 4X4 OR Escort cossie calipers....i assume u mean the front calipers etc in both cases? :-?

by TJ on Thu Mar 11, 2004 4:05 pm

Yes front only.

by **wywywywy** on Tue Jul 13, 2004 5:31 pm

Can you actually buy the spacers instead of using washers? :-?

by **mrviper** on Tue Oct 19, 2004 6:08 pm

i just got escort cosie calipers and disks with greenstuff pads

is all escort cos stuff ok for a mk3 fez ? :rolleyes:

by **Project_XR2i_Trackcar** on Fri Nov 12, 2004 10:21 pm

guys

those of you that have fitted escort cosworth calipers and aftermarket discs & pads......Could you give a description of the improvement over standard XR2i brakes.

I'm about to buy a set and would like to hear how they do

by **wywywywy** on Thu Nov 18, 2004 5:48 pm

Hi,

I've not fitted mine, but here is the description I heard:

"Your head hits the windscreen."

Is that good enough for you?

by **Project_XR2i_Trackcar** on Thu Nov 18, 2004 9:08 pm

I've fitted mine now. pretty impressed first off. Will find out for sure on sunday

by **VUK** on Sun Dec 19, 2004 11:22 am

i can't see pics :cry:

by **MadcatCraig** on Mon Jan 10, 2005 3:28 am

havent been on this site fo ages guys and i cleared down my webspace a while ago.

as i see this guide is still at the top

i have re uploaded the piccies and re-linked the first post to them

by **rsrob** on Thu Feb 03, 2005 1:30 pm

are spacer brakets needed for the 4pot 2wd calipers :-?

or do you need proper brackets ???

by **adamburzynski** on Wed Oct 12, 2005 11:23 am

i've been told that sierra XR4x4 breaks are the same. is there any truth in this?

by **Luke_Si** on Tue Oct 18, 2005 7:38 pm

This is how you can tell the difference between 2wd discs and 4x4 wheel and escort

4x4 Sirrea and Esscort Cossworth

Have

Dim 278mm
Hub 150 mm
height 36mm
thick 24mm

And also esscort cossie there is only one type of disc...

2 x Drive Sirrea

Dim 283mm
Hub 150 mm
height 55mm
thick 24mm

I hope this helps people out.

by **lucasdemoley** on Wed Oct 19, 2005 3:14 pm

So, is this fairly easiy to do then as the guid makes it seem as though it is?
Anybody know what difference it makes i.e stopping from 60mph?

by **Avinitlarge** on Thu Oct 20, 2005 7:25 pm

IIRC the cossie brakes are the same size as the Mondeo V6 ones, I have a set of mondeo V6 calipers for sale.

I also have made a guide for fitting 300mm brakes to a mondeo, I imagine its similar to fitting on a fez

by **RS_Rawli** on Thu Oct 20, 2005 7:32 pm

cossie calipers are the same as mondeo 4x4

by **Avinitlarge** on Thu Oct 20, 2005 11:47 pm

RS_Rawli :cossie calipers are the same as mondeo 4x4

Shouldnt that be the other way round

Doh!!! I meant, 4X4 Cossie calipers are the same as V6 mondeo calipers

by **RS_Rawli** on Sat Oct 22, 2005 2:01 pm

no, 4x4 cos, 4x4 mondeo

by **Luke_Si** on Sun Oct 23, 2005 1:37 am

RS_Rawli :no, 4x4 cos, 4x4 mondeo

There is no mondeo 4x4 that I know off m8 :-?

by **RS_Rawli** on Sun Oct 23, 2005 9:41 am

by **Luke_Si** on Sun Oct 23, 2005 3:32 pm

Hi All,
Got the stuff for my escort cossie capilers and mounts did u use the cossie mounts for the capiler or the fiesta ones as the bolts the fiesta ones uses is two small to fit in the cossie mounts and if u uses the big bolts the cossie uses they wont go in to the hub.

Any help would be thankfull.

Luke

by **Avinitlarge** on Sun Oct 23, 2005 3:40 pm

The 4X4 mondeo brakes are no different to the mondeo V6 brakes then, All though, I thought the 4X4 brakes were just the same as a normal 2.0 Si, Ive got that many sets of calipers, Ive forgot whats what. The V6 brakes may be good on a fiesta but its a different story on a mondy due to the weight, The latest brake upgrade is to fit 300mm Mk3 mondeo brakes on the Mk1/2 mondeos
