i was thinking about doing this, and most people i asked said its not possible,

but i went to my local scrappy a few days back and looked at a few ford rear disc setups on different cars, the scorpio ones fit, the have the hub attachments on, but its just mounted on a different angle, so the scorpio hubs would fit, but the caliper would be at the top facing down,

you might be able too, i know you can get brakets made for the for about £200,

you might be able to make a braket or mod you axle yourself,

but i havent got any st brakes to look at,

let me know how it goes if you try anything mate, cos its something id love to do

good luck

yeah iv been tying to find a set to have a look at, but you need some that have been taken off really,

but i really dont see why you couldnt do it,

would just need alot of modding to fit,

They're talking about the rear brake setup matt......

 

As it's a completely different suspension setup, I'd just stick to what's been already done on escorts - your choice is wide enough!
