ford part number for 98 chimera rear calipers

[PlasticPunk]

does anyone know exactly what model of ford car the rear brakes on a 98 chimera come from, or better still the ford part number.

I'm 99% sure that they're sierra 4x4 calipers

The Steve Heath book says sierra V6, but when I have asked about ordering these, they say there were so many different specifications, they need to know exactly what car. And when I say TVR Chimera, they draw a blank

By 1998 had they got vented discs?


Ford Scorpio Cosworth

Sierra Cosworth 4x4

I think solid disc cars are all the same but vented get larger calipers and discs.
Think the Cosworth 4x4 got vented as above.

Part numbers wont be much cop obsolete part from Ford for at least 15 years + they are Granada Cosworth Escort & Sierra Cosworth 4WD 4x4 etc etc , any of the suggested if they have 273mm vented rear disc then they are your calipers for that gen TVR

Bear with me.

Diameter of the discs is irrelevant. It is the same calliper used for all the various diameters used which is just positioned by different sizes of calliper carrier.

The difference is if the discs are vented or not. The vented discs are considerably wider than the solid discs so the calliper has wider 'jaws' to accommodate this extra width.

Again it is the same calliper used for all diameters of vented discs which is positioned by different sizes of calliper carrier.

I do not know if the calliper carriers are the same for vented or solid discs though.

The carrier positioning be it for 253mm or 273mm size discs is due to bearing carrier ears/lugs being 10mm longer , caliper and carrier are different from 10mm solid to 22mm vented there are only 2 options however and this is them , pads are all interchangable even pads with wear sensor wires (just cut them off) .
