Escort rear disk conversion.

Can any one tell me what disks i need to use to convert a Mk2 axle to disk brakes?. I have a set of sierra rear callipers and thought mk3 escort front disks would fit but the bore is to small to fit over the axle flange.
It is for a friends RS2000 not a locost.

Me thinks its fiesta or maybe its the calipers.
www.gtscougar or something like that,if its not in the links here it sure is at www.locostcarclub.co.uk i'm pretty sure the guy on there sells the conversion kit and it has something to do with fiestas.

Take a look at Rob Lanes site, he's done a rear disk conversion www.robs7.com , can't see the point myself...

I also wouldnt bother myself , but I am doing it in exchange for a rebuilt 1600 crossflow and some wheels, so well worth a bit of hassle to me.
I have looked at Rob Lanes site previously but will go back and have another look. I seem to think that he used sierra disks machined down on the diameter.
