this kit
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ESCORT-RS-...item2a17cadfd7

drill the hub carrier out 12mm as the threads are in the caliper carrier it will all make sense,

just get a 12mm drill bit and the kit and its all apparent from there

this is all presuming your using the mk3 mondeo calipers

Most people use the mk3 mondeo calipers, as they are cheaper and have a bigger piston for more braking force!
I don't know what to use with the st170 calipers tho, sorry!

You probably paid 'ST tax' too! Mondeo spares keep the Mk3 calipers and I got them for £20 when I bought the engine for the fiesta ST best upgrade I had done to that car. Looking at same route with the S2 now as I'm going on to 16" wheels!
