Hi peeps the work is progressing, picked up calipers today, one of them is brand new, they cost me 20 quid!!!.[/img]

The Calipers are also gonna be stripped and cleaned then painted.

[Stoned]

Excellent. Once you are done I think this will be one for the technical section sticky list!!

[blackRS]

very nice mate

How comes you need to replace the hubs ?

[MikeyXR2i]

Well up on the rear, as standard the wheel studs are mounted in the drum.
Where as on a brake disk there isn't any studs, so you need a Hub carrier.
And the disk sits over the carrier with the studs coming through. And all the bearings on a disk setup are in the Hub.

hmm, ive got some 4x4 cossie rear brakes in the garage, along wioth drilled n grooved disks

are they easy to fit?

how much can i get them adaptor plates for?

would i need a bias valve cos of the xtra power at the rear?

rawli

[MikeyXR2i]

you can buy the Adaptor plates from the fiesta centre, don't know how much they are seperatly though.

[RS_Rawli]

whats the deal with replacing the hubs?

how much are they?

basically ive got the brakes themselves - calipers carriers disks n pads

just wonderin how much itd set me to convert my rears to disks

rawli

[MikeyXR2i]

you can buy the plates, hubs, bearings, all the bolts, braided brake hoses, all for £160. but then you need to buy disks, pads, handbrake cable setup with spacers to give adjustment. You can get it all from the fiesta Centre. cost me £328 in all.

[Stoned]

Thats where ill be getting my stuff from. Did you get the bias valve as well to adjust the power?

Anyhow, hurry up and do it so we can all read about how easy it is

[MikeyXR2i]

you don't need to buy a bias valve, you have pressure valves under the bonnet, bolted to the inner wing, behind the battery, this adjusts the pressure of braking to the back. But you shouldn't have to adjust it.

[FezzyMK3.5]

Mikey are the discs for a fiesta or are they for the cosworth and is that £25 for the pair !?

[MikeyXR2i]

hi m8, yeah if you use the fronts off a Mk3 Fiesta Non-vented, they are the right Width for the rear cosworth caliper. Also if you use those disks they make the offset right just like the drum setup offset. The price for the disks was £24.95 each, =£49.90
