hello all, i was just wondering, as i have a set of brand new focus rs calipers if there is a fitting kit to fit them on my s1 out there somewhere, i have failed after hours of searching on tinterweb, i am aware i will have to have some discs with custom bells.. i duno is it worth it? any suggestions????

 

Red-Dot do a kit for these now, I'm not sure if they would supply the kit without the calipers

Worth a try though!


Other than that, You'll have to go custom


Good luck

 

thanks chap, i will ask.... i suppose i could buy the kit and copy it, then send it back...hehe, oh well on we go.

 

Let me know how you get on

I have the same calipers, but i'll be going the custom route

 

I don't think the kit that Red-Dot do use the Focus RS calipers radders....the Red-Dot ones are radial mount rather than lug mount!

 

Am doing the same conversion on my series 2.Iv,e found 2 places that sell the conversion brackets. 1.ZOO MOTORSPORT,but the owner is ill and the place is closed for now...2..THORPE ENGINEERING,but he didn,t have any left when i rang 2 weeks ago.Said he will get some more made but don't know when.As you can read ,i'm having as much luck as you.Let me know how you get on as i am desperate for some aswell.

 

Spot on mate,they don't use FOCUS RS calipers and their kit cost about Ł750.

 

does this mean ther may be discs available for this conversion aswell then? so i dont have to get custom ones made up? what discs are you planing to use (mercury grey minter).....ta, Lee

 

I thought the kit had FRS calipers... PF Nick has a kit on his car and i could have sworn they was


Sorry if im wrong

 

Don't worry about it....we can't ALL be right ALL the time like me

 

 

I am using focus rs discs on my conversion,PF NICK'S are not focus rs calipers as mentioned above.The only things you need for my conversion are.FOCUS RS CALIPERS...FOCUS RS DISCS....CONVERSION BRACKETS..AND BRAIDED ESCORT RS TURBO BRAKE HOSES.Will let you know if i can get hold of the brackets.

 

wicked i have all the above other than the brakets, zoo motorsoprt has them for Ł100, as you said..bring on the stopping!!! and THANKS!!!!!!

 

ZOO MOTORSPORT are Ł100 and THORPE ENGINEERING are Ł80 but found both are not available at the moment.Let me know if you no otherwise.

 

i think i may have found 2 sets for Ł150, if so i will buy them and send you a set for Ł75...

 

Where from?????

 

there is a chap in glasgow making them and selling them, its through a friend who works for a local motorsport company,of which the guy suppiles all his caliper brackets for most fords, we will see what happens. L

 

Keep us posted.

 

ok so i cant get them not avaiable anymore due to lack of demand, so if anyone has got any?????????pleeeeeeeeeeeeeese

 

Have you tried THORPE ENGINEERING.I havn't rang him for a while.Try him on 07919 88 62 37.Let me know how you get on,as i 'm fucked without them.

 

im fucked too, im well pissed i was promised them i will try him , also i think the chap from zoo is back on here.

 

Keep us posted.I'll let you know if i have any luck aswell.

 

ok mate...cheers, good luck to us...lol

 

No luck then i take it.Someone must do them.

 

Speak to Martin Hadland from Reyland, I reckon he's the man who can

 

Worth a try..cheers

 

Being as you live in Birmingham and Reyland is in Birmingham then we'll be hearing some news soon

 

Yes, if only it was that simple.E-mailed him last night(no reply) then phoned him today(no answer).Some body up there don't want me to fit these FOCUS RS brakes to my ESCORT RS TURBO.

 

urrr oh well, im in the same boat totaly, i have nowhere to run......and my car wont stop

 

Martin Hadland has a mobile number in his advert in Fast Ford

 

Went on his website and it said he can make any brake conversion bracket at a price of around Ł211.A bit steep for me.I'm not that desperate YET.Will ring him tommorrow to confirm price.BIGLEE, I take it you had no luck with ZOO MOTORSPORT and THORPE ENGINNERING???

 

Spoke to MARTIN today,said he would need my FOCUS RS CALIPERS,DISCS and my 17 INCH WHEEL to custom make the brackets.All for Ł120 and would take about 2 weeks..SORTED!!!

 

have you got it sorted? i still need to get mine sorted, i wonder if martin will make a set the same as yours for mine? i got a set of brackets from jl mspprt, but they dont fit with the focus discs, aparently i have to get AP discs with custom bells...fook that! so let me know how you get on with the focus discs mate ....Ta

 

Told you he was the man who can

 

mercury grey minter have you got it done yet?? focus discs ok or thrown away?

 

Could any of you guys tell me what width the standard Focus RS discs is please?

 

REYLANDS brackets use FOCUS RS DISCS AND CALIPERS.Still waiting for them to be done ,should be ready next week.

 

ok cheers mate!!!
