I tried e.bay, even bought some, but did not fit, are we all destined to have to buy new calipers, if anyone has been able to buy some i would really be grateful for some help, the guy at ford even gave me the part no. 6128159

Going by the numbers wont always work. Sierra calipers come in different piston sizes depending on year and model. TT would know which ones had the larger pistons. That is where the trouble starts because you cant be sure that the donor car has the correct calipers on it, there is a lot of interchangeability (fmb is that a proper word) and given the age of the car its probably best to measure pistons etc before ordering anything.
