Danzetec Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The mk1 focus rear hubs bolt straight on, they only need modification if you have ABS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danzetec Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yeah focus handbrake but I'm not sure on the brake lines, I think I used rs2k ones iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danzetec Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well all the mk1 focus disc setups work but I forgot to mention you get a different offset (which spaces the wheels out) IIRC they are approx: Std Focus 260mm disc with +19mm offset each sideST170 280mm disc with +19mm offset each sideRS Focus 280mm disc with +25mm offset each side (not really suitable for std escort) Without ABS it just bolts straight up really, there are a couple of rivets to drill outYou need the rear sections of handbrake cable, longer rear brake hoses and some zip ties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
