just out of intrest mate what calipers did you use and what disks? do they bolt up streight to the escort hubs?

tasos77

calipers are from a mk3 mondeo ST220, but i think all mk3 mondeo's have the same. Disks are from focus I ST170, 300mm. You need 15mm spacers. i bought them from ebay for 15q delivered in Greece, including the four bolts! Also you need to drill the hub, as the new calipers have M12 bolts. S2 calipers are with M10 bolts. 30-40 minutes to fit them, very easy!

I would think that 16" is the smallest rim one can use then?

I find it very hard to find good 16" track/winter tires that fit the RST. Basic summer tires are of course everywhere in good sizes.

yeap, yuo can't use this brakes with 15'' rims...

S1 Combi

Yeah to use 15" wheels you would need to use the cosworth set up with the 280mm discs

Mister G

Right, sorry to awaken a thread from the dead. Basically I'm doing an engine conversion on an Onion, and obviously need to upgrade the stoppers.

I had already brought one side for my Fiesta, so thought I would bolt it up.. straight to the hub. I didn't think it would fit under 15's



And, it actually did. I put on a standard disc on to see how it fits, just touches the back pad, but I need to investigate in the light...



Put the alloy on to see whether it would actually clear the brakes and realised how close the rim is to the strut.



But there IS clearance,





I'm just wondering what you had to do to make these work? Possibly what the spacers look like, are these just wheel spacers just to stop the rim from hitting the caliper?

Thanks in advance for your help

when buying the mk3 mondeo calipers do you need the carrier aswell? as most on ebay just say caliper

Mister G

Yes, you would need the carrier as well, the Mondy brakes dwarf the standad scrote ones!

Yup they will do...



They just bring the Caliper 12mm outward to center it on the disc.

Buy calipers, buy discs, buy spacers, drill out bolt holes to 12mm, fit lol

these will fit under certain 15s, when shaved,

these are,
rotas,
compomotives
team dynamics pro race
standard fiesta zetec s 15s (need a 3mm spacer)

need a 12mm spacer on caliper to go on escort/orion
go straigh on a fiesta no spacers

its more about the ofset of the caliper for clearing wheels,

ive put these on loads of cars, and there a great budget mod.

both my zetec s, and my rs turbo have them, and the mrs fiesta st

Have you tried under stock RST wheels?

zippyobrien

iTrader: (2)

no chance lol.

there an old design of alloy and fowl both the inner of the rim and i would imagine the back of the spokes.

would love them behind standard turbos,

or some 16" turbos, hmmmmmm,

for reference these wont fit behind all 16s, so crappy wheels wont house them, neither will st24 wheels

Karlos G

Was just a thought as a mate of mine wants something better on his RS Orion, I run them on mine and have maybe 2-3mm clearance so didnt think they would...but worth an ask anyway! lol

Wat 300 undetermined 15 inch Orion sharktooths ?

Mister G

^^ The orion shark tooths are 14" so no i'm afraid. I'm using saph sharktooths.

Guys, thanks so much for all your help! really useful!

marky_g

surely youd want the 300mm discs tho and just use 16's

zippyobrien

iTrader: (2)

I personally would want 16s for clearance. However I was just listing the 15 inch options for those Hu want to keep the smaller diameter

Mister G

Erm, fom my working I should be able to squeeze 300mm under the 15's JUST. lol

zippyobrien

iTrader: (2)

Like say. Depends Wat 15s. I ground the calipers down to get under 15 s

twisty200

hello I was going cosworth way but got wrong calipers �� so mondeo mk3 calipers under standard s1 rims it is any advice or pictures please x
