Default FAO people running focus rs brembo's on ERST

those of you running focus rs 4pot brembo calipers (or similar calipers as on the fiat coupe turbo, pug 406 coupe etc) on your ERST

would any kind soul happen to know the dimensions of the adaptor brackets to make them fit the rs turbo hub, and could draw me up a quick sketch please?

yes im aware they can be bought, as some people may have done, but at £80 plus, it pushes my brake upgrade budget a little too far

i already have it sorted to have a pair cast in aluminium at my dads work, but i need to knock up templates 1st, and any help to speed up the process wud be greatly appreciated

cheers

Hi mate, just wondering. what models of 406 coupes do the brembo calipers come off? is it just the 3.0litre ones? or all of them?
cheers
