If it's an MK Indy, are they not Ford Sierra calipers?

Mondeo you should find code near the inlet hose fitting.

Do they look anything like the below?

Mine are ford single 60mm piston calipers. Disc size is 260mm. They are from a 2ltr Sierra.

They are pretty good really, but I need to make sure I keep the rear drums adjusted well.

Have thought about upgrading to a set on Mintex 1144 pads and grooved discs, just not got round to it over the winter.

Back on the road now so thought I'd refresh the memory and then decide.
