Rear disc advice needed

[JonB]

Need to know a few things,
Can I just splice the ABS sensors from a Focus set up into the Puma loom or do they run a different resistance?
Anybody recommend suitable hoses, thought Puma fronts might do the job?
Finally the handbrake cable has cone nipples rather than barrels, was going to slot a couple of bolts to get over it but is there a suitable bracket available?
Cheers.

You need the abs sensor from an escort estate , hand brake cable just buy a focus one lot easter than messing about trying to make it fit! And rear hoses don't know yet but I am looking into it as I fitted rear discs on Tuesday and had same problem!

Focus one is too long and even adjusted right up hasn't enough travel you can fix this by shimming the adjuster nut with some 7mm id tube

I used a small piece of tube as well got a nice hand brake now!

fiesta st150 handbrake cable seems to be the one that works

St 150 isn't right as the end portions of the cable are seperate and you won't have the right brackets to mount them in. It's either focus or frp

ive got fiesta st ones fitted

You sure I spent ages looking at them. Even ordered one lol. Show me yours

 

[PumaJay]

yeh, i order a set and fitted them, fit perfect, just had to change the front bracket to the orignal puma one and that was it

 

[ScubaSteve]

mine had seperate end pieces that im assuming were replacable so you didnt have to change the whole lot, maybe it was because i was looking at 3rd party ones

My original bracket is for barrel type nipples, the cables I got with the discs won't fit due to them being cone type nipples.
A Focus bracket/cable connector should sort that, but will it take the barrel nipple from the handbrake lever or do I need to change that cable too?
