swebber23 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Im unaware of anyone having carried out this conversion It is done if your car has abs sensors on the rear drums, on mk5s you can just swap the beam as their abs is only on the front wheels.

swebber23 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I reckon use the rs2000 rear handbrake cable Finis 1036202 06/1996 - 09/2001 Cable Assy - Parking Brake, Rear,3 door saloon, 2.0 dohc efi and 1.8 130bhp, 2wd RHD WITH 4 WHEEL DISC-BRAKE. If not pumaspeed do the same conversion Might be worth trying to blag them to tell you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaMMy125 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) theres a sticky about this conversion people ahhh there was , but now lost, any ways call puma speed will give you all the info u need and the cable think its about £30-£40 for it mate , oh and the rs2k cable is toooo short by about 10cm each end u need a focus one cut and adapted to fit the escort hand brake lever end at the front end buy both and do it your self or puma speed up 2 u , but puma speed is cheaper dude Edited July 14, 2007 by SaMMy125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
