Thanks for the comments and support everybody! I'll get some more pics of her soon!
Heres some more bits ready to be bolted up:



Escorts have always been plagued with bad brakes, so i uprated the fronts with Sierra XR4x4 front calipers and S2 RSturbo disks.
The rears were not as straight forward.
I always fancied rear disks, so i went and pulled a pair of calipers off a Mk3 granada, baught some sierra cosworth rear disks, and a pair of caliper conversion brackets.
The first problem was that my escort is a poverty model, and as such it has the wrong kind of hubs to bolt the disks up to. No real problem, i just went to the scrappy and pulled a pair of hubs off a 89' orion ghia, as these have the hubs i need.
The second problem was the disks. Sierra cossy 2wd disks are to big to fit behind the 14" cloverleafs, and i really wanted to keep them. So instead i baught a set of sierra XR4x4 rears.
These are 260mm, and in hindsight were a much better choice as the cossy rears were about 20mm bigger than my fronts! Not good!
This caused my third problem. I wasnt able to get hold of a pair of caliper conversion brackets for the new disks anywhere. But to be honest i was a little dissapointed with the quality of these kits anyway, most of them requiring either modifications to the hubs, special bolts or faffing around with machining metal off the heads of the bolts. So i made my own!
I then lifted a servo and master cylinder off a mk6 escort 1.8 zetec, as it is bigger and should eliminate the spongy pedal feel normally associated with rear disk conversions.
This required some mods to the servo brackets, but nothing major to get it bolted up.
I also used a brake bias valve from a fiat uno, so i can fine tune the system to get it just right, and a beetle chrome handbrake!
All that was needed to finish the job was new stainless goodridge flexis and new copper pipes all round. Job jobbed!
