With the mondeo discs do you need to make any modifications to the two holes on the hub assembly that mount the caliper bracket. I bought a set of discs and twin pot calipers that were apparently suitable for an escort. In order to fit them I would need to put spacers in to move the caliper outboard by about 6mm as well as milling the discs down by 2mm (diameter) as they foul the caliper. It all seems rather a lot of work, especially if the mondeo disc will be a straight fit. My local breakers has two v6 mondeos with complete braking systems at the moment. I already have 15" wheels so no problem there.

I had to modify the hubs to accept them - drilling out the mounting holes, and a little bit of machining to centre the disc. Power steering is from the Fiat Coupe - it fits the track rods directly but mounting is not easy and I don't think it's a match to the steering column. It's also powered from a pump on the engine, so probably not a goer for a Ford installation. I'd be curious about the electric steering from a Punto, though...
