      Which bit exactly do you need to know? I've fitted a few of these... (Its good kit by the way) Most of the kit is self explanatory to be honest... First thing I'd do is offer up the alloy caliper brackets to the strut though (with the old disc/hub off) since they sometimes needs a tiny bit of filing to sit properly...

      Mount the discs on the bells (torque settings are on AP website, but they're not V tight) and use proper loctite. They then bolt up to the hubs in normal fashion.

      Calipers are handed rememeber - they should have an arrow etched on them (but if they don't, then the smaller piston should be leading). If you've got 2 left-hand calipers, like i had, then you can just swap the linking pipe from top to bottom on one caliper.

      Out of interest, what pedal box and m/c bores are you using? you'll need 0.625 for these calipers, if you haven't already.

      thanks Tom for the advice, i 'm not fully sure which way around the bells / Discs go together therefore will post some pics up for guidance,

                        tis a magic place to drive at speed
                        The escort pic in my sig (Below) is myself coming over Devils, got some here somewhere where the car is even higher.

                        If you ever rally on tarmac, get yourself on an Epynt event.

                        PS The book is excellent also, well recomended
