usually about £150 form local motor factors but thats on an exchange basis and the callipers are like rocking horse s**t so they usually ask for yours and send them away to get re conditioned.

ford will do you recon ones for about £200 a side and new ones are stupid £££

if you havent got any to exchange your gonna be looking at easily £300 for recon ones non exchange

well the calipers arnt a straight fit so u either use washers and plz dont, or u use a metal bracket. if it was me then id sell the bits on and go for st170s all depends on what u can get ur hands on and at what price,
worth a chat with gadget

Mark, buy those ones off reggie, it cant hurt to have the disks and pads ready if you need to replace them in the future, plus its better to use new disks and pads, and that aint a bad price mate!!

I love mine, and it werent no where near as bad as i thought it would be to fit!!

When you do it gimme a shout, it wont take long at all!

burton powers recons require exchange and id imagine almost all will. might be worth seeing what the sur charge is as u could just let them keep the sur-charge.

and u can get recon kits from ford well i know most of them u can get em for just gonna check on microcat for u

I got my calipers, discs and pads for £150 then i reconned them myself using the ford kit and painted them all up with that foiliatec stuff. Also used new pads as a matter of course :)
BTW i used the washers to space the bracket out and providing you use extended high tensile steel bolts and torque them up right it will be absolutely fine mate :wink:

Ive looked at the V6 mondy conversions too and its just a question of availability of parts. Escort 4x4 parts seem to more readily available over the mondy v6 stuff.

By the looks of that post the hub mountings should be the same on the mk3/4's

Ta :)
