Rear disc shopping list, @Wild E. Coyote if you can comment please.

I have:-
ST150 rear stubs, calipers, carriers, backplates (may skip those), handbrake cable, discs, pads, Escort Estate ABS loom inc sensors, got some new Puma ABS rings on the way.

I know the ST150 ones will mean messing around with handbrake cable/beam, but doesnt seem too much work.

Anything I have missed?

TBH, I used focus Mk1 rear disc setup with 257 mm rear solid discs. I guess that might be the same?I do remember I had to enlarge opening on splash shields to accomodate for ABS sensors. And I would KEEP the splash shields...
But it looks about right!
 
I hope you have cleaned the hubs before slapping on new discs. If not, they will 100% develop vibrations. The hubs need to be clean of all rust. In ideal world you should use Wheel hub cleaning set 1 or something similar. In real word some wire brush, sand paper and lots of effort are needed.
With that ATE tool, you are done in 10-ish seconds...

Totally back to new shiny metal on the hub faces, used a Milwaukee rotary disc with correct attachment like you listed. :)

Is there any machining or modifying involved with making these parts fit or is it all a straight forward fit?
 
There is an ST150 disc to do with pictures on this site. I used new Puma abs sensors but the Focus mk1 are easier to use I read. The stub axles have to be machined pocketed and tapped to suit the Puma Abs sensors. The Puma Abs rings are needed to fit on the St150 hubs which have to be machined to accept them. I had a bit of a fiddle to get the Abs ring close enough to the sensor on the right rear wheel 1mm clearance (I think). Look for the to do.
