Default mondeo brake upgrade

I can't find any spacers to centre up the caliper to the disk. Would it be ok to use half a dozen washers?

No. lol

Have a measure up, work out what thickness of material you need and then get to a local machine shop, with a few quick drawings.

They are 12mm, so just get a piece of 12mm thick steel, cut to size and drill your holes!

The man above is spot on, i brought mine off ebay for around Ł10... But just get a peice of 12mm thick steel bar, around 25x120mm should do... Mark the hole centres and drill the holes, i think they are 10 or 12mm make sure to drill the hub out - take it easy cos they are soft as shit and the drill literally falls through them! And then repeat for the other side...

Get some decent pads on them bed them in gently for 200miles or so and then give em a gob-full, the car will pretty much stand on its front bumper! They are a wise choice monsieur!
