Title: New brake calipers
Post by Tekno on Oct 9^th, 2009, 12:50pm

Hello,

I'd want to upgrade my brakes to ones of Cossie. And to avoid problems I want new ones, not used. Do you know any site on UK which ships to international/europe (I live in Finland)

I browsed ebay and found ones that cost 82,49€ each. And they have pledge of 30€ each. Shipping costs 30€ pair. Makes total of 254,98€ which is £235.

for example http://www.brakes4u.co.uk sells cheap calipers but there isn't cossie calipers ???

And another questions:
What is FINIS of 2.3 estate front pads, which doesn't have wear indicators? (If I leave idea to upgrade brakes)
What is FINIS of 2.9 24v front pads, which doesn't have wear indicators?

Edit:
Is sierra cosworth 4x4 -90-94 calipers same as scorpio? I mean same in matter that they do fit properly:
According the brakes4u.co.uk site it has REAR caliber in FRONT ?!

???

Hi Bear in mind, you will have to swap the brake discs as well, forgetting the size just now but I know the cosworth discs are thicker than the standard ones, for example the brake discs fitted to the 2.3 and 2.0 are standard discs, hope this helps.

Hello. Does 94-98 Mondeo 2.5 V6 FRONT brake calipers fit scorpio ? Are they even same as on scorpio cosworth ?
Look this:

AND

There is CAL60075 and CAL60076 for 2.5 V6 mondeo saloon 94-98

sure I will then get proper discs and pads also but getting compatible calipers for 278mm is the difficult part..

Another thing to consider is that the rear wheel bearing carriers (maybe front as well, not sure ?) are different to the 2.0/2.3.

The caliper mounting 'ears' on the cossie rear wheel bearing carrier are taller, in order to accomodate the bigger discs :)

Ok. But they are same in front?

BTW. Does Granada mkIII 2.9 24V Cosworth '92-94 front calipers fit Scorpio without problems? I think yes?

You can check FINIS at www.elcats.ru/ford . Some categories are labeled in russian, but all parts and their descriptions are in english. If you press the red link in the tables, you get a price hint (but don't trust 100% on it). There are also pictures as in the Ford system. Only problem is that technical numbers aren't listed (the 95GB...). Ford uses sometimes two FINIS for the same part.

Title: Wheel Arch Trims
Post by exaktaman on Oct 15^th, 2009, 1:14pm

Hello All,
Can anyone tell me if wheelarch trims are available for our scorpios?
I've got some corrosion appearing on the rear arches and I think someone has already had a go sorting it. A friend tells me that it is virtually impossible to cure and suggested the trims to smarten up what is otherwise a really nice nice car.
Black Chrome would go well with my Samakand coloured motor.

Cheers,
Exaktaman

Sorry Tekno,

I made that last post in the wrong place!

Modern technology still baffles me.

Again sorry,
