Are you running with ABS? If not, fitting those should be a piece of cake.

What handbrake cable are you planning on using? FRP is ideal, but I think Fiesta ST would be nearly as good.

[darrin]

find me a rear disc conversion! i need new rear brakes lol!

Coming on nicely mate, good job! Respray looks good!

[Shilly]

flash - i have removed the abs from the car i use the st 150 cable when i do this conversion because its easy to work with did it on my other car in a few hours

darrin- will look to see if i can get some for you asap

[FlashBastd]

So you were able to use the ST150 cable no problem?

If so, that is excellent, I always suspected it would be a good replacement for the FRP cable, but didn't know of anyone who had tried it.

All you need now are ST170/FRS carriers and 270mm discs!

yes was easy conversion

not really going to need much more stopping power with the 4pots on the fronts lol

when i went into ford to price up the cable the person on the counter said they where all the same part numbers and you can convert the original cable

[FlashBastd]

FRP was same part no. as ST150?

[Shilly]

he said that st150 focus and the frp where pretty much the same
just a bit more or less adjusting cable side

I had heard that the Focus cable could be used, but that you used all of the adjustment, and would still have a lot of travel, I have an FRP cable on mine and it is definately none too long. I was hoping Fiesta ST150 would be the same, i.e. you don't need to use all of the adjustment, and there isn't too much travel.

[Shilly]

will measure up again with my other car

[darrin]

ST150 cable will be fine. Focus one is too long and means far too much adjustment if you ask me
