Front drums on a MK1!! Havent seen one of those for years
sorry M8 just drifted off down memory lane! any MK1 or MK2 disc suspension legs will fit just watch strut top mount size ( can swop over top mounts) and MK2 has different track rod end taper,you can use MK2 rack with these legs,also MK2 has metric wheel nuts so dont mix em up with rears ( MK1 has 7/16 unf ). Any capri legs will fit ,again watch top mounts,the track rod ends are same taper as MK1 and again watch wheel nuts,later capri were metric. Good luck with your mods. Regards Filoil |

The drums will also bolt straight onto the escort diff as well, so if you can track down a set of V6 drums (which have a wider sweep) these make a great inprovement to the rear brakes. |

As whooligan says, if the MK1 axle is english(the ring of bolts holding the diff to the casing are on the front side),the 3.0 capri rear backplate,cylinders, shoes and drums will bolt stright on.
