sidrick Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'd rock about in a different coloured tailgate rather than battle with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'd rock about in a different coloured tailgate rather than battle with that one. did consider that for the time being at least no more water is getting in, and if it can stay that way until this nasty southcoast weather has passed ill be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottybo Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 the calipers are from a mk3 mondeo (2000-2007) the discs are from a mk1 focus st170, thinking of doing the conversion dude? its well worth it i promise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeth Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yes, I thought of a future conversion. First I need bigger wheels. My original 14'' do not work xD It is a very nice modified the brakes and really looks very easy I can find the Mondeo MK3 calipers here, no problem... but the st170 disc no. because that version never came to the country I suppose... I could do make discs like the ST170 based on the original Escort what measure are ST170 disks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottybo Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks! last questions... No problems with using the original brake pump? their Escort have ABS? no mine does not have abs. ive had no issues with the standard master cylinder. i also have a rear disc brake conversion as well. you could get mk3 mondeo discs redrilled i guess, to suit a 4 stud pattern, if 170 discs are unavailable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeth Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Its true! I could redrilled, I had not thought I think that in this area there is no possibility of cracking... I have a rear conversions discs. Here is popular find the complete rear axle of Escort XR3 1995, Orion Ghia or VW Pointer GTI. Is remove all the original complete rear axle with ugly drum brakes or bell brakes and put the new axle with rear discs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
