                • just built up the bells, disc's, calipers and hubs and the associated bracketry on the strut and have now fitted the new Brakes.

                  Very easy and straight forward - must get some new grease caps though..........







                  now to fit the new minilites and post some pics up

                              hi paul,
                              unbelievably i removed all the old brakes / disc's(admittedly the car was on stands and everything was 'fresh') and fitted the new ones in under two hours, everything was absolutely spot on with the fit and aligned perfectly, saying that it did come with a bespoke fixing kit specifically for the MK 2 escort












                              need to connect the new brake lines (today hopefully) and bleed the system,

                              • another box to tick when done,

                                good feeling when the brakes are all done, sense of satisfaction
