not mine i went to fiesta centre and ordered a mk 3 rear brake conversion got some rear calbers off same cossie and made up my own adapion plate for £300

Re: stopping power
 

I'd get that brake line changed for a longer one or one with a correct bend on it as that looks dodgy as hell....also that brake bracket looks very flimsy - what size plate did you use???

thats for advice i have changed it for a braid lines all round and ive manage to make stronger bracket will keep up dated

What year is that?You've got quite a bit of rust,lucky its off to get sorted.
