Mike H Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I just bought what I thought were a pair of Escort front solid discs to fit to the rear of my car, problem is tho' they are not the right offset! The discs I bought are 240mm diameter and I was told they were Escort fronts - maybe they're not. On looking at some pictures of my old car (modular build so I have no clue where the discs were from) it's obvious they had a much larger offset (12-13mm more) than the ones I just bought. On checking my manual and parts lists there appears to be a discrepancy, the parts list says Escort front solid but the manual says use the brake discs from your donor - ie Sierra. Which is right? Escort front solid or Sierra rear 240mm? Or should I just get some from Westfield? thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike H Posted February 25, 2003 Author Share Posted February 25, 2003 Hmm, methinks the guy gave me the wrong discs Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 I found out that for Mk5 Esorts there are two rear disk offsets. Easiest solution is to ask for Mk 3 or 4 since there is only one (the correct one ) HTH, - Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
