scottybo Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Nice work piece of Pee to do,dont know why you needed to grind the bea though,nevermind,and who said you NEED to fit focus handbrake and front cable? not yourself my good man but i if my memory serves me when i put up a few threads about it a few months back there were a few chaps who said i needed them, at least hopefully my picked will be helpful to someone as it shows you can use the old escort one as far as grinding the beam i have looked at a few pics of converted beams and seen that they too have had to grind a little bit off, see pic below lolhttp://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p124/ro...BS/SSL23240.jpg you can clearly see on this chaps beam where he has had to remove a little bit to make the calliper fit, i had to do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
