griffith500user Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Pair of black anodised HiSpec Ultralite 4 Calipers (M16 mounting spec) and new Mintex 1144 pads. Suitable for solid discs. Calipers have been rebuilt using HiSpec’s seal kit and they’ve been fitted with new Mintex M1144 pads and bleed nipples and anti-rattle clips. No use since. Surplus to requirements. £150+p&p.
NigelO Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 I'm interested in these, but I need some help with fitment, due to a complete lack of knowledge! I'm currently running Sierra uprights, with what I assume are Sierra calipers. These use ventilated discs, which I'm guessing are overkill on a 600kg 170bhp road car So - I know I'll need new discs, but are these a simple bolt-on job to my existing uprights? EDIT - also, will my master cylinder be enough for a four-pot setup after only running single-pot calipers?

EDIT: in order to get these to fit, you will need Cortina geometry uprights and hubs (such as Westfield Alloy ones), and to make those fit, you will need to change the front wishbones, and you will need the correct diameter (and fitment) discs. Been there, done that 😁
griffith500user Posted July 31, 2019 Author Posted July 31, 2019 Just to confirm, I bought these for my car fitted with Cortina uprights. I had them mocked up so know they fitted with solid 8mm discs, but went no further with them.

NigelO Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Damn - thanks anyway - at least I've learned a bit more about my car. Having already got custom extra-wide and caster-adjustable wishbones to go with my Sierra uprights, I really don't fancy the cost of changing everything just to accommodate some lightweight four-pot calipers
