hello friends, I look at using google translate one more time ... :biggrin:rs

 

the good of Brazil did not have the mk4 rear disc brake, only the XR3 mk5 had it, can not remember if you guys have it in mk4 factory.

 

but if they do, I would ask you guys some pictures to make an adjustment with the mk5

escortclube us from Brazil I'm starting to think about such adjustments on the brake, in our club that has only a mk3 mk5 brake but has not yet been fully completed.

 

you have a car with this piece adapted or something?

 

wait a few ideas and mostly photos

 

thanks

 

Denis

Hi mate.

 

The UK Mk4 does not have rear discs from factory.

 

We use the rear discs and calipers off the Sierra Sapphire Cosworth or the Sierra XR4x4

 

An adaptor plate is used

 

The handbreak cable used on ours is the Mk6 RS2000 4x4

 

Hope that helps.

 

Best picture I have.

Yeah as said you need a conversion plate, i sell them on e-bay most of the time they work a treat.

 

:banana_dance:

 

however if you mount the calipers the other way round you can get away with using the 2wd mk5 escort rs2000/130ps handbrake cable (the shortest one available off the 4 out there..... (ie 2wd mk5, 4x4 mk5, 2wd mk7 or 4x4 mk7)
