Similar parts are needed, although your ABS will not work.

I done this conversion on my MK6 Escort with ABS and it didnt cost that much ...

The Puma shares the same ABS sensor and Collector as the MK6 .. You need to get the Hubs machined for the collector and drill the Spindal for the ABS sensor.

Do you have a part number for the mk6 abs sensor as i heard its also the same as the fiesta zetec s and will be doing the conversion on this soon.

How difficult was it adjusting the spindle etc for the sensor
