Mate:

Your looking anywhere from £80 (Lucky) to £200 for the set up above.

Ide just buy some Focus Ghia 2.0 16v rear set up 250mm (ST150 is the same)

£20 a side from a scrappy .. Take a Sthil saw.

The only difference is the Caliper carrier, Disc & Backing plate.

The other parts required (Non ABS) Is Puma 1.7 16v front Hose & Any Mk1 Focus disc handbrake cable (Rear) You can re-use the Original but might as well do it proper.

I got this done by pumabuild on my old Mk6 escort and it looked spot on

Here is a picture guide I made up of them doing the job if it helps you out http://www.sportingfords.com/forums/....php?f=16&t=25

Im not sure what they modded on the handbrake exactly sorry.

I think they just had to grind a bit away out of the metal bracket on the handbrake cable so it fit in place, like a half moon type shape out of it if thats any help?

Hopefully someone else more mechanically minded can shed some more light on it maybe?
