My good mate is considering this as a conversion to allow him to run 10" wheels without the mega expense of Cooper S brakes, can anyone point us in the right direction specifically regarding which calipers off a Fiesta we require?

If you find a source of good condition useable Fiesta calipers, please let me know.

Getting the parts together to convert my brakes; I got the calipers from a friend of a friend in the fiesta owners club who was upgrading his brakes, might be worth putting a post on some of the ford forums. The hoses were from Iain, thanks. I'm planning on getting the discs from MRA Minis (http://www.mra-minis.co.uk/brakes.htm) as I don't have access to a lathe so it's cheaper to buy a set from MRA than it is to by a set of 8.4s and pay a machine shop to turn them down.

They seem to be as rare as the Cooper ones! i used the mk 1 ones with great success, my local motorfactors can get new and recond ones in so they cant be too bad :) and cheap too !!! you got to grind out a very small bit of the casting but they then screw striaght onto the mini carriers, just a case of getting discs turned down and presto. I was half considering it again so i can use 10"s for track days, but will save up for KAD ones i think. Richie Edited by Richie on 21st Jul, 2006.

Job done Tom, if your mate lives local he's welcome to come and have a look, problem with buying new calipers is that you still need the mount, i got mine from a scrappy in worksop after i used one of those find a part website, paid £15 for them £20 for hoses from iain, £15 for discs, £5 to have them turned down, £5 for seal set and £1 for green stuff pads of e-bay.
