You would need new drums, and I recommend the ones that come from the Zetec-S!! :lol:

all you need is the rear beam and the drums still on!

worth your while going rear disks from a focus if you can find them, but then sorting the handbrake can be a prob ( i aint even attempted mine yet! :lol: :o)

may be able to get hold of one, not sure how much it will be tho! :( may be on the expensive side! :(

Does the mk 3 handbrake cable work with the zetec s drums? I picked a beam and drums up for £50 at my local scrappy.

not sure about the drums, but i know that with the focus discs you need an rs2000 cable. pretty sure you wont be able to use the old one tho
