Drums on an English Axle

Postby pigeondave » Thu Oct 09, 2014 6:13 pm

Hi all,

Does anyone know what the if the sierra 9" rear drums are a direct replacement for the standard drums on the english axle?
Also does anyone know what the standard size drums are? I dont have the car here with me.

and finally can anyone confirm that the 1.6 and 2.0 sierra both use 9" drums but the 1.6s are narrower?

Im looking at doing a complete brake overhaul over the winter and i think the 9" drums will be lighter than going discs.

I have 9 inch drums on my RS 2000 English and so far as I know they only came on Escort RS Models -- yes , definitely lighter and good as discs if Hawk relined via Cambridge Motorsport ;)

Thanks Rob.

It looks like RS2000 is the way to go and not sierra.

Now to find some back plates any ideas??

They'd normally come with the axle complete so possibly FORD scrap or try Turbosport forum , just about every sort of Ford bits/bobs via their '' for sale '' or '' wanted '' area.
