I have a set of complete 328mm rears available.

Edit: from a sedan

PM me a price if you want ?

I'll double check IRS sedan rears bolt onto a live axle setup :)

Edit: never mind - I need a setup off a BF xr6t ute

Peter - it replaced the 298mm (aka BA XR6T/BF XR6) setup - it has had a full service history at ford in its life, so I suspect it was OEM pads, but to be honest, I ripped them off and didn't look at them, didn't concern me.

Yes, the red anti-squeal goo, but in moderation so it didn't look like junk on exposed pad...

All second hand stuff, it looks almost newish, so no point switching them out yet.

No worries.

I come for Capri updates but still leave satisfied, the wagon is a good thing

I'm happy to hear that :) end of the day the Wagon is just a toy that I can throw some spare cash at, to keep me occupied ... so it's nice people are enjoying it :)

Did you get much driving done before the swap? I.e. you can provide good comparo feedback later then ;)

And yep....ABS Osborne Park fail (see below) ... TBH Hitech Wangara also did the same with my last setup (except with white bremtec goo vs. this red (I assume) generic stuff) so must be general practice by brake shops?

Lucky you can do stuff yourself; cause ABS refused to install my used T3s unless they machined them (probs covering their asses if any kent trys to sue them or something lol)...Anyways Look forward to the next update ohmo! :)

comparo, without even driving it (cant, as I havent got the turbo BTR in yet), I can tell you there is no comparison.
stock smaller solid rotor with OEM pad and repco fluid, versus, larger vented aftermarket performance rotor with performance pads & high temp race fluid.

the goo is all the same stuff, hell, selleys all clear would even work

they machine them down so the surface is flat, and the new pad can mate properly with the rotor ... otherwise it creates un-even wear.
I didnt give a f*ck, as these were already matched up, so had worn together previously, so no new edges/surface wear

Ok mini update:
Box went in on Sunday 20th. Had shifter issues (very stiff / out of sync) ... Cable and box moved free when not connected up. Left it at that as I had F1 to watch.

Next chance I had to look at the car was Saturday 26th ... Upon inspection, I noticed the shifter cable / brackets angle was too extreme, due to the BA trans having a s-bend lever compared to the BF trans having a flat lever.

Chased up a flat lever, had it dropped off yesterday. So I'll fit that Friday morning & have a working transmission again.


Luke sent me the Ford Manual transmission section... From there the below (BA trans) image came from

The BA had a bracket bolted to 2 small holes, in the middle section of the bellhousing, with a S-bend lever on the box ... see diagram.

The BF has a different bracket on the edge of the bellhousing, with a flat lever on the box ... thus my alignment issues
