HELP ford focus mk1 disc conversion from drums help
Hi all I'm new to this forum I'm Jay and I live in worthing...*Iv got a Ford focus mk1 it's on a 01 plate but it's running drums..
Iv brought this but didnt no what i was getting my self in to...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1609707824...d=450007799042
He's saying it's all there to convert from drums to discs..
But just abit worried on the brake lines will I have to change them or does the brake hoses from the kit fit on my brake lines...
Iv been looking all over the net but cant find any thing to do with the brake lines..
do them brake hoses in the eBay ad just fit on to my brake lines or do i need to get new brake lines from a rear disk car hope not ..
So it goes to the caliper but where does the other end go*I remove the hard metal line what all of it or does it come out in peices or does a peice undo from the back then i can fit the new hoses from the kit to where iv took the metal peice out..
So i will be left with 3 quarters of a brake line till i fit the new hoses.I mite Sound dum but cant work it out i just dont get where the brake hose from the kit goes i no one end goes in to the caliper but what about the other end..Thanks all...

if you trace the brake lines from your drum set up back towards the front of the car you should come to a joint above the rear susepnsion components that the hard pipe can be split at. you should be able to unbolt the hard pipe work at this joint and replace it with the flexi hoses. and route them to the new calipers. Dont forget to bleed the brakes
