Going to give these guys a call tomorrow as they don't list the Puma, would I be right in thinking that one of the Fiesta kits would be suitable?

Does anyone know the exact kit I need?

Already bought discs at pads for 238s, going on the track on a few weeks do it's not a job I can spend time finding bits for.

Yeah I called him and he knew straight away what it was.

Although I've taken them off and the piston is also corroded so I'm going to find something bigger and refurb them instead.

surely it's only above the boot that looks scabby...which can be rubbed off or ideally bead blasted...

underneath the boot should be spotless... ja_cool.gif

No the fescalised portion is missing some coverage.

Hit another problem today - I've bought some recon Fiesta ST calipers and they don't come with sliders. Ford want 100 quid EACH.

The puma ones slide in to the caliper but I can't see them being suitable?

'fescalised'..lol what does that mean.....

looks like you had a good go with some sand paper to cure it.... laugh.gif

mm... re the brackets...these are pricey.... i'd stick with the standard setup which works perfectly well...
