Hi, I lost my brakes just driving around town When the engine is off the brake pedal is hard. When the engine is running I have to pump the brakes a couple of times to get any braking. Is it the MBC at fault? My Puma has later model 256mm front brakes and rear Mondeo 258mm discs; no ABS...

Hi, <Nevermind the caliper mk1 rear rebuild I'll just get them to an expert. now, not to clutter this webpage i'll reuse this thread> Are there other front end brake upgrade options? 1) I've been googling and suspect maybe Ford Cortina/Capri 2pot brakes fit? 2) Ford Sierra Cosworth 2wd 4pot...

Hello, I'm follow the very helpful Modification guide and gathering parts to convert drums to Mk1 focus disc brakes. Awesome guide, pleasure to read and a wealth of knowledge. Just that I find the handbrake cable part a bit shady.. Has anyone done this and could share what handbrake cable was...

How do you put the front shock absorber back in? Tried putting in the new shock and spring with the hub still in place. Ofcourse that didn't work. Then removed the hubcarrier, attached the new strut to the hubcarrier, placed this assembly in its place, inside the fender. But now the lower ball...

Hello, I'm changing my shock absorbers. Could some good soul tell me what are the torque values on the front struts? The two nuts up top and especially the bottom bolt. Or if someone could at least tell the bottom bolt value, it would be great :)

Hello, I need standard springs for my Puma. Lots of bumpy roads in my region so softer is faster :) Question is are there any good cheap alternatives? Ideally I would get KYB, but I'm reluctant to spend 70quid on a pair. Maybe Fiesta MkV springs are the same? Ebay suggests buying Mondeo III 1.8...

Hi there, Almost completed prepping my Ford Puma for amateur rally, and BAM! in the middle of the winter the governing body bans bucket seats without harness. .. a good chunk of money down the drain. So could anyone help me by telling what ford factory seat option I have? What would bolt...

Doing my 300mm disc conversion for R15 windmill wheels I've ran in to some problems not reported elsewhere or downplayed. Thought some might find it useful and save some quid. I've used : 3mm spacer ST170 Ford Focus Mk1 discs (the base plate is ~1.3mm thicker than that of a Puma) Ford Mondeo...

Hello, I have, maybe a somewhat crazy idea, to get all four space saver wheel and fit them with R15 155x65 tires for the upcoming winter. I've never had space saver wheels are there any design features that would hinder this plan?? The space saver rim should be at least R15x3.5-5 ---- I've...

I'm carrying out a 300mm front brake upgrade for my puma thought I'll do it nice and neat with hubcentric spacers and longer studs. Now I'm finding out that that changing the studs is by no means a DIY job. undo the wheel center bolt; Remove drive flange from hub; <the bearing collapses> hammer...

Can't find caliper for 280mm discs. Been searching for mondeo v6 1994-1998. When I find them, the sellers have them all in a pile and can't tell apart 2.0l mondeo calipers from a 2.5 v6 calipers. Says their all the same (third in a row said the same) So is there really a difference, between...
