hammie Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Whilst plucking up courage to cut my new boot box I thought I would replace my front discs. Next problem, the disc locking tabs have corroded away. Does anyone know if Escort/Capri tabs will fit, there's loads on eBay but only a couple of Cortina in Australia or 1 in UK with 7 days left to run. Been to a couple of Motorfactors locally with no joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TableLeg Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I believe they Escort, Capri and Cortina are all the same.

Lyonspride Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 TBH, I didn't fit any, I intended to, but I needed the car on the road before they would have arrived by post. A) The bolts are easily visible, you can check them and torque them up without even removing a wheel. B) You'd have to be an idiot to not notice/feel/hear something if they started coming loose C) I'm not even convinced the tabs do much anyway, intended for a production car that does 10'000+ miles between any checking/servicing.

hammie Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 I waited for these to arrive. Fast delivery and fitment. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brake-Disc-Locking-Tabs-Ford-Escort-MK1-MK2-Capri-Qty4-Stainless-Steel-CMB003-E/271413044522?hash=item3f317a652a:g:2hMAAOxy-WxTD2lk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
