Raceleda Sierra Uprights Torque settings
As it says really. I got these without instructions, any-one got a set they could scan for me? Also torque settings, and do I need threadlock?
Can someone recommend a caliper/disk setup they are happy with too. I'm looking at running 13, 14 or 15 inch wheels, bike engine.

Haven't got the torque settings but with the brakes I'd go Wilwood with a solid or cross drilled / grooved disc.
My vented 260mm discs take some heating up even with Wilwoods - they need some vigorous driving to get them to temp 
Lyn.

MNR informed me that all the raceleda stuff should be torqued to cortina specs, since that is what they were designed for.
Specifically:
caliper bolts: 58n/m
disc bolts: 42n/m
caliper mount plate bolts: 30n/m
hub bolts: 42n/m

I am using the raceleda calipers and discs that came in my "raceleda sierra replacement front end kit" from mnr. I believe the calipers
are rebranded "outlaws" (lightweight aluminum r16 replacements).
The discs are non vented, which is good (i have seen quoted that venting is overkill for these cars); and they are cross drilled and slotted, which is
not soo good (does very little good, and makes the discs more likely to crack).
Did you get yours installed?
Cheers, -Scot
