Just sorting the last few little bits now. The handbrake cables need a little bit of fettling to allow them to work with the puma. The metal bracket the holds the 2 cables and has the 3rd from the lever is different and won't work with the puma cable so needs changing.

I managed to find a bracket of a mk4 fiesta on ebay.

Then I cut the white plastic blocks off that are used to secure the cables on the st150 and replaced with some p clips.

Now i just need some decent weather.
 
I've finally started on the rear disc conversion today. So far I've only done the drivers side as I'm off out with the family soon, hopefully get the rest done this evening.
Thankfully with everything being fairly new the only casualty was the abs sensor.

One little snag I've come across, I'm currently running 20mm axle spacers and the wheels just fill the arches. The mk1 focus and fiesta st150 that ive sourced the hubs and spindles from have a wider track, so now the wheels stick out just a bit too far. I've ordered some 10mm spacers from ford to bring the wheels back in a bit.

Discs look far better behind the wheels.
