(1/2) > >>

sirfixalot:
Has anyone done a brake upgrade on an 87 have heard you can use C5 rotors 325mm dia on  original hub & ford XR6 twin piston calipers with an adaptor which are the same as C5 Vet calipers ?

Vettech:
I'm sure Bfit will have some advise.

bfit:
 My first thought is ,
if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

sirfixalot:
Thats the problem Bob C4 brakes are lousy

My Second thought 
Newton’s second law
Is the underlying starting point of a brake upgrade, along with numerous influences.
Mmm
 I wonder how many year 8 ( in my day 2nd form )  students, these day learn the basic’s we did  back in the day.

  Seeing motor vehicle’s, for road use are designed on better than a 3:1 safety factor .

 A rule, a set of 6’’ dividers, a protractor  some cardboard if cad is not available, the will then your on your way to a good start.

 I just happed to have a set of c4 front suspension with cross member
A set of c5 rotors
A set of c6 calibers
   Question  what is the inside diameter of your wheels and the offset to clear the calipers
