Default cossie brakes on a mk 6/7 escort question

whats the easiest way? i have a set of 4x4 calipers & 2wd disks, do these go on as easy as the fiesta/escort turbos??
i know the brake lines have different ends, do the new lines have to be made up or does someone sell them off the shelf?

thanks in advance.

use cossie braided lines mate.
the calipers need spacing about 5mm for them to fit centrally over the discs.

a few 10mm washers sorts that.

i had no probs running mine like that for over year.

I did what fudgeass says and used the washers. I had to drill the hub out from 8mm to 10mm. but I used Escort Cosworth discs and callipers so maybe it’s different.
