Hi hopefully not to technical. Has anyone tried to fit newer calipers to the sonic rear uprights,holes don't line up. I was thinking of moving holes to accommodate,both holes in 4mm,what do you think? Have new handbrake cables to fit so don't really want to change to older calipers that have a different fitting.  |

i looked at fitting the newer calipers to my rocket... the holes are off but i also found fitting the discs to be a problem to.
if you have the discs put them one and you will see what i mean.

im using mk3 focus rear calipers.
avoid!
you will need to make new caliper mounts to allow for a different disc offset. and even if you get them mounted the handbrake cables go off in a not ideal direction.
i would recommend going to local scrappy and buying the older calipers which bolt straight on, no hassle.

Thanks for the response,I will probably go the older way. Thought I had everything sorted before getting my kit,oh how wrong I was. Second day into build and bugger it.
Need following things:
Adapter to connect rack to focus.
Different track rod ends.
Different calipers/ handbrake cable.
And thats just for starters. Though the floor is sealed and riveted.I will have to study the build manual very closely before making further purchases which are a waste of time???
