Front Uprights

30/3/2014

 
Picture
I put up a couple of photos of the front uprights on OldSkoolFords and it looks like they are Escort/Carpi ones (many thanks to Wilko), which is good as this opens up a few more brake choices. So, current plans for the brakes are -

Front - Wilwood 247mm x 20mm discs (Capri 2.8i origin I think) with 4 pot Forged Dynalite calipers
Rear - Mk3/4 Ford Fiesta solid discs and Ford Granada single pot calipers
Pedal Box - brake bias but will have to decide on mechanical or hydraulic clutch, would like to keep the mechanical but it depends whether the Type 9 will fit in the tunnel with this set up (standard)

Kits are available for these and this is a fairly well known fitting so should be easy to source/fit. This will be finalised once the body and suspension/axles are prepped and complete.

These will all fit under 13" rims, next job is to confirm they fit under a 5.5" wide rim and what ET I need to fit under the standard arches.

    Father & Son Team

    I'm a mid-life crisis sufferer who just had to have another project.

    My son is impressionable and willing to learn the ways of "the petrol".

    Together we will learn, laugh, cry and probably fight in the creation of an automotive gem.
