jst bort brake set up off st24 and im gonna fit em on satday.

now, before i start to fit em (pmt em) has any1 done this in the past and found any probs?? as in, will i have to make a bracket, or will they bolt str8 on? (i could see the bolts bein smaller on the fiesta but im hopin there not )

simple q. simple answer pls.

They are the same as the Mondeo V6 calipers so what you need to do is have the backs machined so they fit the mounting bracket, and drill the holes slightly bigger to accept the bigger bolt size.

Once done they fit straight on and make a big improvement in braking power

[Pop]

drill which holes bigger???

not on the hub [ERRR] wot they gonna thread into?(unless u get em rethreaded)

machine, as in take sum off? u speakin from experiece here?

yeah they are the same. st24 is jst v6 [ERRR] bumpers and a badge.

[voorhas]

The threads r on the calipers, not the hubs. You need to drill out the hub holes from 10 to 12 mm (as stated b4, no threads there) and you either need to have the caliper back machined so it sits 3 to 4 mm further in or get a spacer plate to bring out the discs for a similar amount.

its all very well sayin this, but why?

if ur gonna explain wot the problem is,,,,,,,,,,why?

machine it back to it sits closer,why?

space your disk away, why?

[MIK3Y]

So the disc and caliper match up otherwise they wudn't m8.

what they are trying to say.., in plain english...., if ya dont machine the caliper mounting bracket so it sits further back into the hub then the brake disc will faul the caliper bracket upon fitting and the hub will not turn. not nice

thank god.

u also give a "no nonsense" answer lol.

got it now. rite. thats a bit of a blag but no prob. il js get em lathed 2moz once iv measured how much i need to take off.

my wheels rub on my body kit already so if i space the discs out that means my wheels will rub even more!!!! damn.

[Stoned]

Yes I speak from experience having owned and fitted a Fiesta with them, yes the above is the reason

I just assumed you would have a little knowledge on the subject. At least you have your answer now.

[Pop]

Dont patronise me stoned person.

I do hav a little knowledge, but its hard to know wot ur lookin 4 before u even look (obviously)

well, iv looked 2day and seen that i cant space my discs [ERRR] my tyres will foull my bodywork.

i have use of a lathe and a millin machine but dont wanna fook up, so i think i will pay sumone to do it. mite aswell. then i can blame them for wonky wearing! anybody recommend someone who can do it?
who did urs mr stoned?

ps, y dint u fit cossie brakes?

[unknown_user]

I Fitted mine by making up a steel spacers which fiffed in behind the discs, but i had all this planned and bought the correct offset wheels to fit correctly...


i didnt like the ideal of machining the hub tbh

[Pop]

i wud do that but, [ERRR] my car is low, it will scrub even more!!!! they are the right offset.lol.

u dont have to machine ur hubs, jst the bit where ur caliper bolts onto the hub (on the caliper). its only bout 3 mm. i jst dont wanna do it and then be gutted wen iv not got optimum braking [ERRR] i didnt do it properly!!

[ianFRST]

y the attitude? u got an answer pretty much straight away!

u from passionford

[Pop]

erm, no im not. wots with the interrogation?

i got my answer yes thankyou, now im stuck i need to know if anyone can do the fitting of them 4 me.

do u know? if not pls dont make me look like an idoit in my post where im jst tryin to get sum brakes on ma car. thanx

[Stoned]

Yeah you machine about 3mm off the caliper. I didnt use Cossie items cos they are about 12 years old at the minimum and spacing them out with washers is a bodge job

Plus I got mine of gadget for £150 brand new and pre-machined inc pads and discs. Pads are cheaper and disks are dead easy to get. Bargain

You will find your pedal has a lot more travel after fitting them however

[Pop]

thats exactly y i bort em and yeah BODGE. my mate has some and is fittin em that way. im js not keen on doin it like that.

do u know who machined em for gadget???

[Stoned]

Sorry dude, I dont

I suggest you private message him. He is still on this forum and will get an email when you leave your message.

Cheers

[Pop]

i have done thanx mate.

anybody else know??

[chumkila]

Gadget would've had them machined professionally. I will vouch for that. Can't go wrong with someone who works at Dunton!

[Pop]

i will too. jst need to know somewhere that does

no point goin thru yell [ERRR] i want sum1 who knows wot there doin [ERRR] regards to cars and brakin!!!!
