Hi Mark, did you use 12mm spacers on yours? If so where did you get them from?

Thanks

standard lines when i did mine

if you use the mondeo ones they are too long as i found when i did this on my fiesta

i took some pics when i redid them last week so i'll stick them up in a bit, no need for spacers i found other than the ones i used to make sure the mk6 wheels would fit as they are a different offset to the mk4 fiestas

some pics of when i did mine to the fiesta



that's all you need to do is drill out the holes to 12mm from 10mm for the bolts to go through

then everything should just bolt back into place

ive used longer studs because of the wheel i'm using







hope that helps

I knocked them up myself on the lathe in the garage which don't really help you
I'd of thought any engineering shop would be able to knock you some up I think I used 25mm diameter bar, drilled it up the middle & then parted them off at the right length.
