Mk1/2 fiesta conversion is most popular alternative I've heard about Does require collecting different parts and also machining: carrier bracket grinding down hub holes drilling turned disc down to 7.9" Has been done for under £100 but all depends on if you get lucky on ebay or theres an old fiesta in your local scrappy etc etc anyway, this video is good www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fbBWdSDT7Eim looking to convert to 10" aswell, but to save hassle just going to fork out for the minispares kit , good luck! alex |

ok, how about the wide-offset alloys from MiniSpeed? They'll clear 8.4s

Sell that engine for £175 and you are over half way to buying Minispares or Minisport 4 pots . Machine a 8.4 down to 7.9 and away you go . Works on mk1 |

Your have to use disk hubs as drums do not have the lugs to bolt the calipers to. Post up that video from you tube it's very good and the convertion looks easy to do

Matt , do you want me to get a price for the calipers ?
They may be cheap . Depends how much the surcharge on them will be . They will be exchange but if there is no old caliper to be returned for rebuild there will be a surcharge to pay .
What year and age Fiesta caliper to you want ?
Does it need to be a Fiesta caliper suitable for a Fiesta that originally had solid Discs or vented discs .
Might need to text me reply as I may not be on again for a few days.
