Sierra Brake rebuild kits
Can anyone recommend a source for rebuilt/service kits for Sierra Brakes. I’d like to fit new seals and bolts etc to the brakes on my Indy. An online
source would be ideal, failing that someone near Coventry/Warwick or South Brum would be good or somewhere that does mail order.
I have a set of rear callipers with the car off a ford but I’m not sure what they are off, as they are not of the 2.0L Sierra donor car.
They look the same as the ones on my TVR that I believe are Sierra Cosworth callipers. Any ideas how I identify these callipers for spares?
Also do I need a bias valve or a deceleration valve on the rear to stop the rear brakes locking first?

Had very good service from them, on more than one occasion.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

TBH, it is not worth refurbing the rears yourself, when they can be re-cond/bought for not much more...
Dont just build it.....make it!

second that, just buy recon ones, your time is better spent on other bits of the project.
Doing them yourself is fine once so you know how they work, but after that its not worth the hassle
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

brake bias
Anyone got any experience or thoughts on the brake bias.
As said earlier, I have single pot calipers on the front (54mm piston) and rear (43mm piston). Both from a Ford.
Do I need to worry about brake bias or a deceleration valve to stop the rears locking first ?
