Think not sadly, might be the caliper not the slide, awaiting developments

The vented discs need a wider jaw Mike.And of course,the Cossie hub has longer lugs.

Are the caliper carriers L/R handed or the same for both sides ?
Will a carrier from a non-Cossie Scorpio with vented rear discs be the same ?

Mike.
Both sides appear identical,don't think they would need to differ,since the extra diameter of the Cossie disc is catered for on the hub lugs,I would think a non Cossie vented carrier must be the same.

Nice one GOZZ, I'm sure I have some in the shed but its dark and 'orrible out there right now...not to mention a right mess in the shed so locating it could be challenging to say the least.

According to Simmo it's always 'orrible in the shed,he seems worried that one day you may not emerge from there,and may even vanish for ever !

At long last the job is done, sourced a bracket from scrap cossie £15 bit different from £92 brand new, amazing thing is that when I removed the pins to clean and regrease one area under the rubber boot was as you would imagine after all the years in an exposed location, BUT the other had no rust and was shiny as the day it was fitted. Both rubber boots in goon nick as well. Alls well that ends well.
