Default Brembo Brake upgrade

Hi guys,

I have a Cougar that I am looking at fitting Fiat coupe 4 pot Brembos onto with either the ST170 300mm discs or the MK1 Focus RS discs onto.

The Cougars front knuckle is the same as the Mk2 Mondeo and I wondered if anyone on here can advise me where to source the adaptor brackets from or a pattern I can use so I can have some made. I don't mind paying for a pattern from someone.

Thanks,

Rob

i have just fitted some FRS calipers with 324mm discs to an xr2, took a while to make the brackets to adapt fitment, but just have a go with something thin and then get it copied into thicker material.
sadly i'm too poor to do this, so got 10mm steel plate for cheap and spend a couple of hours replicating the 3mm steel model.
all done in a day really, big saving on a kit though.
