Wanted sierra rear uprights

Wanted pair of sierra rear uprights 

[Kingster]

FYI, I am pretty sure that there’s two kinds, early ones that will only accept push in shafts and later ones that will take lobro shafts. 

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Yup, I had the same recollection as Chris.

[Allan Cooke]

I have the early type independent rear suspension with drum brakes can I just change the uprights?

I've recently fitted a lsd with uprated sierra drive shaft

You’ll need hubs too. The hubs will need to match the driveshafts. 
 

The early sierra uprights use push in shafts with a Sierra diff and Sierra hubs. 
 

The later ones use lobro driveshafts and have hubs that match the bolt on shafts - not sure what they are off as not got them on my car 😁

 

If you just want disc brakes, you can get adapter plates that bolt on to your hub bearing carriers.

This is my original hub with the sierra shaft in it

Here’s the sdv upright and hub with adapter - just as an example to show how the adapter plates fit

 

 

 

here’s the push in Sierra shafts for comparison to yours

If you get disc uprights, you need these hubs for push in shafts

Hi Allan 

5mm laser cut brackets and spacer 

Golf caliper just needs a bit of jiggery pokery to make the hand brake work.

Definitely the cheapest option.

Agreed 👍
 

And Golf Calipers preferable to Sierra (I’ve had both)

Your drum brake hubs will need machining to fit under the discs by the way - from memory it’s 134mm dia? Need to confirm that!

[Allan Cooke]

OK thank you I've been over to work on the car tonight I think the issue is I've brought the wrong drive flanges

The conversion that Tony shows above uses Fiesta discs rather than the usual MKIII Escort front. The drive flanges fit under these without machining.
