bailes1992 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I havent seen the ebay item simply because im lazy but on our old MK2 Mondeo we used ST170 discs and Mondeo MK3 Capilers. Now I can't see why these wont go on an escort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--JP Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 If you are using cossy discs and caliper - you might struggle getting them behind the wheel, my calipers catch on RS2000 wheels and are about 5mm+ off of fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogbad Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 erm whats 888/887? nice pics by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 888/887 are fitted to Escort cosworth, Mondeo mk2 V6 (the bigger version) and granada cosworth. They have different carriers for the Escort Cosworth to the Mondeo V6, but the hubs are very easily adapted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 no they dont. The mondeo carriers use M14 bolts, the escort cosworth carriers use M12 bolts, which bolt straight to escort hubs, if you use M14 bolted carriers then the hub needs drilling to take the bolts. Then you need to put 5mm spacers between the carrier and the hub. And you have to use cosworth 4x4 front discs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you have to use cosworth 4x4 front discsmore confused now.So I could use escort cosworth carriers, with mondeo mark 2 calipers and escort cosworth 4x4 front discs to hang it all together easilly ?

Trig Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 you will get the carriers with the calipers, so depending on which 'brakes' you get depends on wether or not you will have to drill the hub. And you need to use escort/sierra cosworth 4x4 discs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
