looking good mark. my drive flnages would of looked like that if i had had the time...

i might consider filing out the recess now.

how long are the hoses?

The fittings are from a friend at Demon Tweeks, They are a little more expensive than normal as the extended neck angled banjo is not far off £10 compared to a std short banjo at £4 but there is a reason for that. It cost £47 altogether for all the hose parts, as for lenghth, we wont know untill the car is fitted with the brakes and i can weigh up a good route / length for the hose which will not foul or rub anywhere whilst in daily use.
You should be able to get nipples from a good motorfactor? Tweeks sell them seperately anyway.

3/8" unf x 1 inch long should do you from a local bolt stockist

Not keen on rally design as there is always VAT N postage on top of their seemingly good prices!!

cheers, ill let you know how much they quote me when i get round to phoning them.

bolted everything up today to check any clearance issues.

please excuse the w@nk photos...

here it is bolted up straight away, as you can see the mounting bracket sits too far in.

here it is with a thin washer in between the bracket and the hub. the disc sits perfetly in the middle of the bracket now.

yes the caliper is almost a direct fit onto the mini hub.
Do you have mk2 fiestas in your country? The mk2's can be used too.
