People paying £200 for 2nd hand discs and pads have to remember that come renewal time its going to cost them about £400 lol 
and being 2nd hand that time will come round quick.
2 piece rotors are only half of that price to replace
Save a quid today by doing it all all second hand, but boy will it bite you hard in the future
New stuff lasts twice as long and the on going costs are roughly half lol

I got some calipers kinda cheap from a very nice man. New disc & pads can be had for £150 if you go cheapo, or £200 for branded stuff, & the cost of the brackets, should make for a pretty cheap coversion & everything bar the calipers will be new
Price is keen for brand new disc/bell set up, would love to go 2 piece but just cant stretch to it at the moment as a resto is just starting

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
right here is a quick pic of the brackets i designed for twins escort.
i'm still waiting for full prices from myy cnc shop, but due any time soon.
the flat ones above worry me slightly , sue to the number of pieces involved and the nut and bolt arrangement.
theres lots of parts to vibrate loose and we are talkign about front brakes here, you want to know they are up to the job. the bolts above dont even look like proper HT ones. i hope you are using a lot of loctite on those!

That's astonishing!
Just a shame I have 15s.

So I figured a £250 saving for the first few might just help some people out May be in touch Dan, but I'll see you next month anyway ??

Those bolts pictured were only used for mock up.I used proper bolts for final assembly.Also with ZOO MOTORSPORT brackets you have to shave a bit of the caliper to get them to fit.
Not ideal,but Zoo were the only place that were making these brackets.
THORPEYS are better ,but he couldn,t supply them when i needed them.
To be honest,big brakes are overkill unless your running big power.Most people will have them justfor the looks.

What software does your comapny use/accept as i can convert my model to this format and send it to you for quotes as it may be cheaper?
can anyone also confirm the step height from caliper to hub? i belive this is different from mk3 fiesta to mk3/4 escort and maybe an easy adaption for other designs.
many thanks

And a 350mm x 32mm sat under an 18" wheel if anyone is daft enough to run them
Brackets were only rough cut for a trial fit so no pictures were taken yet but it looks like it all works

Tony,i've got quotes coming for HE30 grade with steel thread inserts, should be any moment.
What software does your comapny use/accept as i can convert my model to this format and send it to you for quotes as it may be cheaper?
can anyone also confirm the step height from caliper to hub? i belive this is different from mk3 fiesta to mk3/4 escort and maybe an easy adaption for other designs.
many thanks

Sorry for the delay, i've got soem quotes back, soem of which are outragous.
I have 1 more that should be coming back to me today from an old friend i used to program for and then i'll work a final price.
i will probably need about 10 for a minimum order though
thanks for the help tony so far.

right, been a busy weekend!
basically need a min of 10 pairs to make it worth doing.
They would probably be at most £100 per pair, hard anodized in black, unless everyone would prefer another colour.
maybe cheaper ??? i should have exact price within 24hours
all enquires to nickythorpe@btinternet.com

i see your sig has changed so does that mean your taking orders now and is it a choice of 4/6 pot in the two colours, at this rate you'll need a catalogue, which ever way put me down for a kit please
