Re: help identify brakes
The SportKa, MK5 Zetec S and 1.4 & 1.6 Puma all have the same brakes which have 260mm discs, so I wonder if they are what the calipers are from?

Re: help identify brakes
From memory, if the piston size is 60mm, they could be anything from Series 2 Escort Turbo to Sierra, Granada, etc to MK5 Escort RS2000/XR3i 130PS.
If they're 54mm, then it's likely to be one of the above that Andrea mentions.
I run S2 calipers with MK5 Zetec S discs (which I believe are the same as a lot of MK6 Fiestas, Focus, etc)... They're 22mm thick. Previously I ran RS2000 discs which are 24mm thick and about twice the price!
Your retaining clips in the photo are different to mine, so they could well be MK5 Zetec S, Puma, etc or similar?

Re: help identify brakes
i recognise the shape on the middle of the caliper.. theyre Escort RS2000
its worth noting.. that only the later pumas had 260mm brakes, earlier ones had 240mm like mk3 fiestas, even the 1.7

Re: help identify brakes
Many thanks for the responses. Still not sure which brake discs are the right ones. Got brake pads from RS turbo but theyre slightly smaller in width. I believe i will go for getting all front 280mm upgrade.

Re: help identify brakes
280s will be too big
RS2000 brakes use 260mm~ discs (258mm i believe)
