Hi Jim
That's a massive rip off as it's the easiest part of the conversion to do!

Oh I know it is, Barry.. I'm not that soft ha.
I was only looking at paying £45 ish for the pair. No was on this earth I'll be paying £85. They're just trying it on.

I guess you all know what this is. I don't know the name in English, we call them spies (why don't ask me). 0,6 mm is the one we are after!

Makes more sense than tap.

In English - feeler guage.
 
Dear All good evening,
The thing is I want to set rear disc brakes to my Puma. I'm very sure the specific modification is absolutely an improvement project regarding the car's braking behavior and not cosmetic improvement. But since the entire project is not reversal in case of faulty function, I've carefully red the entire post many times despite of I've already bought a complete rear disc brakes set from a Focus 1.6cc 2001 model. However recently in a website which distributing parts all over Europe, I noticed that the ABS tone ring and the ABS rear wires among Ford Puma mk1 and Ford Escort mk6 2.0 station wagon but also the 1.8 hatchback are the same. (They had the same part No). I guess that it's not something new for you but allow me to share with you my thought. If the wires and the tone ring are the same, then why not to use the complete Escort's rear disc brakes set? And more over the entire rear axle of Escort's have the same structure like Puma's. So practically seems to be a safe and without machinery risk modification.
First thank you in advance fore your reply, and second in case you have anything to share with me avoiding any issues in that project, would be highly appreciated.

I am also looking to convert my rear brakes on my track puma and have been reading through Wild E. Coyotes guide as well as Paulz and I’m rather daunted by the idea of irreversibly machining parts. I am not particularly mechanically savvy and have only had the car for a couple years with minimal mods made to it while I’ve been at at uni. I noticed Paulz offered to do the whole process for people for a fee but he doesn’t look active anymore, would anyone be willing to do it for a fee?
