RyanML Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 hey, just wondering, what year car can i used the calipers from? or would they all be the same? also what kinda price is a decent price for them? local scrapyard told me they had a pair, not sure what year car they're from and they wanted £70 for em... is that good? cheers.

Carl160180 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'm picking some up this weekend for £25 for the pair but I gotta take them off the car myself, i've e-mailed a couple people breaking v6 mondeos this week and the going rate is anything from £25 to £50 a pair, IIRC the mk1 and mk2 calipers are the same and there is only one type so can't go far wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 ebay is ur best bet mate, just search for people breaking V6s and PM them and ask what they want for the calipers. I got mine for 20 posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl160180 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 If were having a "I got mine cheaper than yours" bitch fight, I got my set for the derv for £3.61 off e-bay :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BITCH! lol its a wonder why everyone doesnt upgrade theyre brakes cos a DIY V6 upgrade is cheaper than taking ur car to kwik fit for a standard size pad and disc change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is a V6 upgrade cheaper than taking your car to kwik fit for standard pads and discs? If you ain't capable of fitting pads and discs to a std escort then you ain't ever gonna fit calipers pads and dics and bleed the system yourself so will still haev to take it to a garage or kwik fit to fit which will cost even more!

Trig Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I have to say scoop, the man has a point. It doesnt cost that much more to get mondy v6 brakes over a set of decent discs and pads for standard escort brakes, and standard mondy v6 brakes on an escort easily outperform uprated discs and pads on standard escort calipers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BITCH! lol No BUT i've just ordered a pair of lockhead (top quality) esc cos discs from the place I work and ended up getting the pair for £33 (thats including my 25% off) cos the supplier listed them wrong, listed and priced them as a single disc but they came in a box in a pair Beat that homme :roll: Although decent mondeo 278mm type pads cost me £32!

Grey Ghost Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 How difficult is it to fit the moneo disks & calipers to the escort? Are they a straightish swap or do the mounting points need changing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl160180 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 To fit the mondeo v6 calipers, infact ANY mondeo caliper from the mk1/mk2 mondeo all that needs doing is the mounting holes in the hub need drilling out to 10mm and spacers (or washers if ya tight ) used between the calipers carriers and hub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
