I have a mk5 escort servo and master cylinder, with cougar 280mm discs up front clamped with xr4x4 pistons on fiesta slider mounts,pads are std erst. At the rear I have cossie 4x4 vented 280mm rear discs with renault/Peugeot alloy calipers , pads are std R5 GTT.the hubs to mount the discs are made from the original drums with the drum bit machined off.the hubs are fitted with studs(from sierra I think). Had to fab some plates to mount the calipers as eddie did,have got the patterns for them somewhere.oh and I DON'T have a brake G valve fitted. The master cylinder setup is described in the members section on club site,pictures of the disc setup are on google group files
All the above are on a coupe but apply equally to the 2+2 Darren -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eddie Cooper Sent: 30 March 2009 07:54 To: Quantum Owners Group Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: Brake options Hi Arnie, I also have a 2+2 turbo. I have upgraded the brakes with the following mods, Mondeo servo and master cylinder, Willwood 4 pot calipers and ford focus 258 x 22 vented dics on the front and a fiesta centre disc brake conversion with vented mondeo discs at the rear. I have also fitted a brake bias control valve on the rear brakes to avoid the rear wheels locking up before the front ones. Not a cheap set of options but fantastic braking compared to the original brakes I used when i built the car. I did have to fabricate various spacers and mounting plates to line all the parts up correctly but definatley well worth it for me. Regards Eddie No virus found in this incoming message.
