they look like the right callipers (2wd ones a 4 pots)
the problem is it doesnt detail what Tweaks have been made,
they have obviously adjusted the thickness one the carrier in one place or another to get the right offset for the TVR
they list them as fitting the Escort aswell which would indicate that they are the wrong offset, so effectivelly you'd have to either dich the carriers and make some that fit, or fit even bigger spacer plate

Ello chaps, the calipers/kit fit the Escort RST with the addition of 2.5mm of spacers, still probably too deep for the Fiesta.
I'll have a rummage tomorrow to see if I can get it to fit my XR2i upright using a different disc.
The discs I WAS using were 2WD cossie reduced to 278mm, the calipers are the later Ford 278mm type and take M12 bolts. (not Escort, Granada or Sierra.... )
