Default RS focus calipers on a 2wd

I have a set of rs focus caliper with discs and pads ready for my 2wd, I have ordered the brackets I was just wondering if my brake pipes will fit or i have to get different ones made up?
Anyone else got these on there cosworth ? Is it any better?

i'm not sure that you'd need to keep the bano joints though, could you not just put a normal brake pipe end on there?

has anyone does this before?

I made my own if you have a drill and hack saw/disc cutter it will be very easy

Made mine out of 10mm thick mild steel

you will need to remove some metal from the caliper



and my home made brackets
