Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you all like it. 
Shanemk2 I used a standard 1.8/2.0 flywheel. You can get one from a focus, mondeo or escorts with 1.8 or 2.0L engines as they run 240mm clutch/flywheels.

P.S Lookout for some videos tomorrow from a Test & Tune day at North Weald

Shocked I haven't updated this this for over a year. 
I used two spacers. One CVH and one Zetec.
I had a custom system made in 2.5". Thinking of changing it soon as its a bit loud for my liking now. 
Right time for the updates.
Bigger discs and calipers, time to replace my Escort Cosworth brakes.
I decided to fit some nice four pot Focus RS MK1 Brembo calipers with 324mm discs.
After some research I came to the conclusion that I can still keep the 16" size but will need to change to a Motorsport style alloy.
So time to change from my Mondeo alloys
Que a set of 16" ET35 7J Compomotive MO5s.
This is a photo of them fitted for size. (Note rubbish Hero 195/45/16)
I didn't like the colour or the blue caps so I sent them off for acid dipping and repainting.
Much better
Now time refresh the calipers from Ebay.
Full strip down and replacement of any perished rubber seals. (Note old seals in photo)
With some paint and stickers
Bolted back together
Now to fit
Caliper brackets
Focus RS 324mm VS Escort Cosworth 278mm
Discs and calipers fitted
Alloys on ready for a test round the block.
That is it for now, what do you all think?

Do you still make it down to the middlesex meet?
I'm hoping to make Ford Fair and enjoy a nice blast round the Silverstone

Yep I have some updates.
Over the winter I had all my polished pipes and tanks powder coated matte black. Haven't taken any photos of the new look engine bay just yet.
Also had the car in the body shop over the last week or so.
Some of the updates are
