Front HEL Braided Brake Lines Hoses For Ford Mondeo MK3 2.0 (2002-2007)

The focus ones do fit. I put the mk3 lines on and there to long. 370mm st170 brake lines are perfect.

[@rs__daz]

Plenty of movement on these so work fine with a bit of slack. Not ever fitted any other lines other than mk3 Mondeo ones, I seem to remember the focus ones didnt fit right.

[@robt662]

I've still got the same lines on dude. Had no probs 👍

[@TheMcooper17]

thought about swapping my mk4 hubs for mk5 ones for stud conversion, but looks like i would need a puller to get it off, something i dont have yet

[@callumtaylor3473]

Thanks for the video mate

[@rs__daz]

No problem, its worked on about 5 of my Ford Escorts now and is a worth while upgrade.

[@damionspittles1847]

I see you appear to have lowered coil springs on this car due to them being bright red. have you, or anyone, got any tips on how to find a set of lowered springs for a 1995 mk6 escort as the only ones I've found on eBay keep turning up the wrong size?!

[@rs__daz]

Loads online “Ford Escort Vi(2.95-12.98)(40MM Drop) Lowering Sports Springs” Normally have to buy a set and sell the rears on.

[@bigronn78]

Escort Mk 7 1995 -2000 ?

[@gabortoth5185]

Yes. MK5b/MK6 = MK7

[@rs__daz]

Parts of Europe call it a mk7. But uk only went to mk6. Mk5 - mk5b - mk6

[@prosto_mayster]

Привіт, дякую за інформацію, в мене мк-7 ! А на задню підвіску які гальма можна встановити?!🤘🖖🔩

[@rs__daz]

Never upgraded the rears.

[@prosto_mayster]

Дякую за відповідь, чекав дуже довго, навіть вже забув за запит 🤘😎

[@silvan1995]

does it have the same steering knuckle mk5 as mk6? thanks

[@rs__daz]

Yeah

[@WiresFanDrew]

Is there a Ford parts list ?

[@rs__daz]

I list the parts in the video. St170 calipers and bolts/ mk3 Mondeo hose lines.

[@joebratt819]

Will these fit under 16" gti wheels ?

[@cdf1uk]

yes

[@rs__daz]

Yeah thats minimum size.

[@iandegruchy9442]

can you use any 300mm discs? Was thinking drilled and grooved ones from MTEC.

[@rs__daz]

As long as they are st170 fitment yeah.
