Default How do you fit ST170 front brakes to mk3.5 Rs1800 Fiesta?

Hi everyone, I got a lucky purchase at my local scrappy today, A pair of ST170 front calipers. I have ordered up some ST170 new 300mm discs and pads.

Is it easy to fit all this to the car? Has anyone here done it before and knows the details? I thought it was just a case of drilling out the holes on the hub carrier (where the original fiesta calipers mount) from 10mm to 12mm and bolting the new calipers up??

I Haven't checked fitment with all this stuff on the car yet, any advice appreciated

well i have only fitted them to mk5 escort.
basically you need 12mm drill bit for hubs.
then you need direct fitment brake hoses, do not use bonjo type hose as they dont seal properly.
i think the mk3 is direct tho anyways.
i recon the offset of the disc's are spot on to be honest.
if the mk3 is the same offset as the mk5 escort then it will fit direct
