I have a related question, my sierra parts have drum rears, is that something that can be changed easily or do I need disc brake hubs?

You'll need disk braked hubs, the drum braked ones dont have a bracket for the calliper. It might be that just the back plates are different but I don't have one to hand (hence the advert!) to check.

Cheers

Isn't this the way forward?

I hope so, as I was going to heed the good advice of a previous poster 'fit what you've got and modify later'.

Great, that's actually exactly what I was hoping for!

Finding sierra (merkur) parts in the states is hard enough, I was going to be upset if I had to find a new set of hubs to go with my drum rear end.

I' ve not seen those before, looks like a good option, what sort of price are they?

Some interesting brake upgrades for the Merkur.

The above parts are easier to find and cheaper.

You can use an adjustable bias adjuster but it needs to be locked(to the satifaction of the tester) so that it cannot be adjusted. This usually means pining the bias bar. The alternative is to fit a brake proportioning valve in the circuit for the rear brakes, the Sierra is fitted with one as is the Fiat Uno range, these reduce the pressure to the back brakes but are not adjustable. The prototype is fitted with Standard Sierra front discs and rear drums and didn't need a proportioning valve, the brakes are excellent - do you need rear discs? It's worth considering.

If you go with rear discs I'd recommend making an adjustable proportioning valve as shown on this page by Dave Andrews.

This would need setting up OFF ROAD by turning up the valve until the fronts lock up first in all situations. As this is adjustable, but not from the drivers seat (it's usually under the car or in the rear suspension area) it's ok for the SVA.
