Granada Carriers

[Brett James-McCall]

Does anyone know if the GRanada Carriers differ in the size of the lugs that the brake calipers mount to?

If so, can someone please provide some numbers, or at least an idea how they differ/models. Thanks

Brett

brett the rear brake pad carriers on the granada are different i think their must be three types carrier for standard solid disc, carrier for vented disc ford part numbers 6513467 and then i think a carrier for cosworth rear discs vented as the disc is bigger and the vented type of carrier is short fitting to the lugs i think the lugs will all be the same but carrier different hope this helps, thought you were going willwood on the rears!!!

I am, but the carrier I have is bigger than the one that it was machined on... hence I need to find some new carriers!!! The lugs are the same but I need the shorter lugs by only 3/8". Do you know of any new or secong hand?

Brett, I think I might have a pair or two, can you give me a critical measurement for ones you want, Frank

Frank,
2" between centres caliper lug hole to nearest carrier hole. Mine appears to be 2" 3/8...

Brett,
Does your GT have Granada brakes? If so how well do or did they work? Are they easy to upgrade if you have a car with Granada spindles and brakes? Is that what you are upgrading with the Wilwoods? How big are the Granada disks and how big are the Wilwood? Last what does it cost for a set of Granada disks, calipers and front uprights?
Thanks for any information you can help me with.

Jim,
I am still building my car, so I can't compare. To clarify though, these Wilwoods are for the rear brakes. They have standard Granada Cosworth disc (278mm). I have AP CP5040s on the front, running 315 discs.
