Alan's hillclimb fiesta

I an looking for rear axle spacers for my Mk3 fiesta project, does anyone know where i can buy them or have i to get someone to mill them up for me ? Any info would be great . Thanks

Can't you just buy hubcentric wheel spacers? That's what i've fitted to my FRST. 16mm with 195/45/15 tyress. Its clears the suspension nicely and is still plenty of distance from the arches.

I'm building this for hillclimbing and hopefully be putting wide arches on it so i'm looking to space the axle rather than just spacing the wheels

you can get them for a mk4. Maybe it's worth buying a set to see if they work?
Can't imagine the design being too far apart from each other

Is the mk4 axle the same set up as the mk3

There are loads on eBay for the MK5 Fiesta/Puma/Focus. Someone told me that the hub pattern is different to the earlier stuff. I think I am right in saying that the disc brake hub from an Escort will bolt onto a MK3 Fiesta rear axle, but someone told me the Puma/Focus type rear spacers are different. I don't know how true that is. I'd certainly be interested to know, as my Escort has the hubs spaced, but I'd like to be able to tweak it a bit.

Your best to swap to a puma rear beam , wider and you get disc as standard and you can then get the spacers to make it even wider.

Here you go.

16mm isn't to bad you can get 20mm from burton too.

I got 16mm on the FRST and 12mm on the ERST. Obviously you need longer studs to allow the alloys to fit central correctly. I have 60mm studs on both cars and are long enough.

Also mk4 Fiesta rear beam is different.

Ian Howell used to get these made up locally to him years ago back when Fiesta Frenzy was trading. Any local machine shop should be able to knock you some up tho. Whip a stub axle off, take it to a machinist and explain what you want doing. Even diy is possible if your that way inclined and have the tools, Just remember to use the correct grade bolts as you will need longer.

cheers, wont be changing the axle as its an original motor albeit the wheels! drum off job then!

RSmark84

Buy new drums for the price of them. Easy job to smash out the factory fit studs, and get everything ready for a swap over.
I still gotta do my fronts, Thats a caliper and disc of job, then smash out the old studs while its jacked up, and turn the hub as i remove/fit them otherwise it'll be a hub of job at the front too.

I had 20 mm spacers on the back of my puma. It handled really well but looked a bit poo.

I also fitted an under car strut brace. This was also a brill mod.

have you got any pictures of 16mm dude? just to see before i spend

RSmark84

No, I just checked photobucket. the only ones I have it pre-spacered. The wheels look lost in the arches.
