I've obtained some new Sierra Cosworth rear callipers for a conversion job
on another car. Bought some pads off Ebay.

Should there shim(s) behind the pad(s)?

I'd guess the only difference between them and standard Sierra ones is
they're for vented discs.

Huge very kindly sent me a scan of the Ford manual which covers changing
the pads and callipers, but no sign of shims in the beautifully drawn
diagrams. Or mention of them.
