looks like the calipers have been changed back to standard ones but the disc's left big! would recommend changing the calipers mate either st150 or cossie! wouldnt leave it like that tho...keep those discs tho

_________________
Project fOOOOrd - coming soon to a forum near you

if i keep the discs i cant get bigger calipers under as it just fits under the wheels as i is also with them calipers being smaller has made a grove half way into the disc

how much for some st or cossie brakes what they go for

_________________

look like 300mm disks, on standard calipers... Hi spec to do a conversion kit for this.. i personally think its a fucking bollocks way to do it...

cossie set up sub £150.

have had wheel off but not to look how the brakes are mounted i know there on brakets dont know if there good or not

_________________

biggest giveaway will be the size of wheel. if they are 15s then they will be 285mm discs max as thats about the biggest you can get under there. the grooves in the discs look suspiciously like the ones in the brakes i bought for my project which are hi spec ones. however it looks alot like thats a standard calliper on a big disc.. while you have the same amount of leverage as the calliper is further away from the centre line. you still have the same amount of pad in contact with the disc. while it looks good its not really ideal as its still a smaller pad area and with aggressive use the smaller area will heat up and possibly overheat quicker.

personally id find a set of more suitably sized callipers. but thats my take on it.


Jam.

well havent been on here for a while so i thought i would give a quick update

well engine went ages ago so now that engines out just got my new engine so hopefully giving it a clean up tonight and taking injection bits off it and fitting my carbs onto it

also took a bit of the sound deadening out so got rest of that to do aswell will get some new pics when its back in a cleanish state

im putting well put now the 2.0 from mondeo in and cheapest quotes i found is from swift cover i think it is

well started at 7 last night and striped new engine down bits i didnt need and fitted my carbs and painted the block red we then changed water pump and droped the engine in got the gearbox bolted in and also the front mount but by 2 me and my mate was tired and cold so called it a night and going to be starting again soon

_________________

bit of a set back took the engine out as we found the downpipe went to differnt side of the sump but then we checked the old engine and found the blades of the water pump so engine is now back out and waiting till tomorrow to go get a new water pump and doing timing belt aswell while it is off

only downside of doing conversions/work at night you dont seem to notice everything as lighting is not always great lol

_________________

shit having a set back

least you spotted it now

we need pic's!

yeah good spotted it now or it would have done exacly same as before

some pics but these are off my phone and it has a sh*t camera





didnt get any while it was in the car as it was only in there over night and then back out today and my mate had already started and i was still coming back from the shop

_________________

Soz to hear about the setback mate. As terry said, at least you spotted it now and not when its all done. Good luck getting it all sorted

_________________

well tonight went round my mates luke to fit water pump and timing belt ended up doing the sump and pick up pipe aswell

we then thought smuk it and then fitted the engine so now all bolted in got the starter motor on aswell and a few other little bits

tomorrow going to hopefully finish it off with water pipes and wiring then hopefully it should be running cant wait to hear the roar from the 40s lol

_________________
