![]() I have heard that the sierra front caliper can be replaced by a peugeot 206 or 306 aluminium one to save about 4kg per side. It is meant to be a direct bolt-on to the sierra upright. Can anyone confirm this?

i find that hard to see as a sierra caliper must only weigh 3-4kg infact i have a duff one kicking about. i will weigh it tomorrow. would be interesting if there was an alternative though |

![]() That sounds like it is worth looking into
![]() Just a little word of caution !! Peugeot have a nasty habit of fitting different brake systems on the same models built in the same year ![]() Girling, ATE & others ?? ( Girling being the most likely candidate for Sierra fitment ) I just happen to have had a run on fitting Peugeot discs n pads this year ( 5 ) & have had a devil of a job getting the right parts first time ![]() Even had to ring the Peugot main dealer for the build code for one of them !! Perhaps my local motor factors are just crap ![]()

![]() As Ronnie said, 3 different sorts excluding ABS - Girling, ATE & Bendix. My sons P reg TD look like Bendix and are not alloy. We have a Pug breaker near by who might know if alloy is used in the UK and what make of caliper.

![]() On further inquiry, it appears the Bendix caliper from the 306 fits with a 5mm spacer. All ali, so very light compared to the cast anchor from the sierra. Will try and get a weight...
