karlos mate, quick question if you don't mind but where does the spacer go on this? is it between the disc and hub? also does it matter what mk3 mondy callipers are used?

No mate, in between the hub and the caliper, the two bolts that hold caliper to hub get spaced out to bring the caliper out a bit and sit central on the disc.
Any MK3 Mondeo as far as I know.

Really.i just dont want to lose the original look.was going for willwood set but saw bad reviews on here about them leaking.so think set of cosworth ones will do the trick.

I didnt use any brackets i had a friend machine 4mm off the mounting face of the calipers to make them sit in the middle of the disc then drilled and tapped my hub to take the bigger bolts the cosworth uses
The holes on the caliper didnt quiet line up with the hub on mine so i opened the holes up by 1/2 a mm in the caliper to give abit of clearance and they bolted straight on.
