I got overhaul kits for my SD1 from a local factor. So unless the Sierra
uses very special brakes try your local one. You may have to buy complete
kits to get the dust seals, but they're not normally that expensive.

IME I've found the parts people at the smaller Ford dealers invaluable. 
I remember trying to find a thermostat housing for a 2L Capri. THe guy 
at the local Ford dealership came up with a Sierra one plus a proper 
blanking plug for the additional unused outlet pipe.

Years ago I bought a cheap Capri at auction for a few quid as a stopgap.
Probably well over 10 years since they'd ceased production. It was taxed
and MOT'd. Driving away from the auction, the glovebox fell open with a
bang. I slammed it closed, but it fell open again. I called in at the Ford
dealer opposite the end of the road where the auction was and they had the
part I needed for 50p.

abs or not, they will use the larger 260mm disc and appropriate caliper
go and find one for a Granada (they use exactly the same caliper) and job 
done

if you are talking rear kits though, go and get an exchange caliper, it's 
only around a fiver more than the bits needed to overhaul the old one and 
you need some skill and patients plus tools you may not have to do the job 
right

Yes that's what I did for the rear but the fronts are fine pistons clean and
move in and out fine except the dust seals are split so is it possible to
get these and seals say from fords or anywhere else ?

Phone a Ford dealer and ask? Get a copy of Practical Classics and go
through the advertisers? Try Halfords? Local motor factors? Accessory
shops? Appropriate car club?
