It mounts to the mk3 exactly the same.
The only issue is the mk3 handbrake cable doesn't fit correctly into the zetec s drums.
So a spacer is needed or a few washers.

I don't think the mk3 drums fit mk5 beam.

Cheers fella, is there any particular year of ZS which is best to whip the beam from?

[knuckles]

Any of them fella. They all the same across the sport series

[Excursion]

+ Sport Ka, Street Ka, and Puma of the relevant age.

Where have you been the last ten years

It just bolts on mate. Fit Focus discs or keep the ZS drums & adapt your handbrake cable - it really is easy!

[Michael!]

its so easy even ive managed it hahaha

Ive made myself look abit (more) special with that question aint i

What i meant was just a guide as to the HB cable fitment, odds an sods, whats you may/do need...
you know get an idea before i go spunking down the breakers and leave anything i might need behind

Im tired

[jayrs]

keep the drums, discs are too much hassle and not needed, hence why i took the disc off the back of my rs

[thatplace]

got a few zs rear beams here if you're after one

[jonyb4]

was gonna add to this.. but its all been said lol

[knuckles]

+1

So Mk3 shocks will fit the mk5 beam then?

[rsturbonutter]

Yes

[jonyb4]

yea they both use more or less identical bottom mounts, lord knows why, but ford seemed to want to try out a fork design in the beam when they made the mk4, ut then decided against it when the mk5 launched

Yep, especially when you spot who you replied to initially

lol in heinsite, thats fitting the discs to mk3 beam not zs one , but same principle but no need to drill the mounts

when i get my car sorted ill do a zs guide


Andy

[andymac]

Aye, I know, but 90% same. Good guide too.

[jayrs]

Just wanted to update this a little and say I plan to get bk on this some time in feb, although I have heaters I still need a decent ambient temp to start with to achieve a decent overall temp for spraying so once temps rise ill be back on this

[Rhinopower]

Clearly you've been slacking Jay

[Tweek]

I fitted a ZS beam to mine just before xmas, original handbrake cable fitted the ZS drums perfectly but it is a very late mk3.5.

[knuckles]

Yep I need to sell my new mk3 hand brake cable and buy a mk3.5 handbrake cable.

[jayrs]

Yeah I have been lol I wanted to get a bit more done before Christmas but time just ran out with other things to do and it's been dilly cold since
I know if I go out there now temp in the workshop will be about 2 degrees and the heaters will prob get it up to about 12 and I wouldn't be happy painting in that temp.

Ill see how it goes over next couple weeks but I do wanna get in this ASAP as I wanna get it done then the xr2 can be started on lol


Wayne, got a feeling the 3.5 cable is different to the mk3 but I can't honestly remember, but we have sorted the issue with that now, if I remember rightly

[jayrs]

Yep I need to sell my new mk3 hand brake cable and buy a mk3.5 handbrake cable.

Thought we were gunna go with the mk3 one?

Cool
Saves me trying to flog it on !

[jayrs]

50% off what ya paid though as its second hand now

[FRS_Steve]

I was going to say +1 for the Mk3.5 handbrake cable fitting the Mk5 rear drums without a problem, as I did this on My Mk3.5 years ago.

Just a thought though - Does a Mk3.5 handbrake cable fit a Mk3 at the other end? I know there is some difference in the floor pans and the handbrake lever is slightly different?

I'm not saying that it wont fit - just that there may be a difference at that end too?

[knuckles]

Only one way to find out !
I will order a mk3.5 cable and compare it to the mk3 one

[tompeteRS]

There's 3 different types for the MK3 all slightly different.
