We have looked at quite a few ford calipers and carriers, but in our sport we are limited to 13" wheels so we have to look at small sizes. The focus I don't think will give us the room to fit the wheels on.
We have used in the past mk2 fiesta and xr2 calipers and they are even getting hard to come by.

Calipers aren't that bad to get, I find that its the carriers that are the hardest to find. I really want the complete pair if at all poss. But thanks for your help with the caliper. Even I couldn't tell you if it's mk3 or mk4. We have tried and tried to get these calipers etc for the mk3 solids, but we always end up finding that the people who try to help have the calipers for the vented discs.
