I did it. Just bolted them on.

I have capri legs with alloy hubs. You can buy the willwoods off the shelf either with the correct bolt pattern intergral to the caliper or as a bracket. Mine have the bracket. The bolt pattern on the Capri legs are the same as Mk2 Escy 2lt Legs. These calipers are amazingly light. Pickup a full can of fly spray simular weight.

Discs are Capri standard but Grooved, Drilled and Slotted.

It would be nice to source all the bits for the front legs from one shop but I had to source the bits from about five shops and then just bolted it all together.

Sorry guys will have to remove the worldcup crossmember and install the standard one first then we will get some more video footage. Eurospeed has a taller Type 9 now so I will have to order one of those and change the gearbox aswell.
Type 9 stnd
3.65 1.97 1.37 1.00 .816
Type 9 Modified Road
2.71 1.81 1.26 1.00 .825

I changed the Mk1 Escort/Capri leaf spring rubbers to nolathane as shown. And it still gave me a big headache.

So before going to the stand cross member i decided to change the gearbox cross member back to standard and do some testing for Eurospeed, just made up some 24 x 24 square tubes and ovalled the holes.

The results was 3/4 of the vibration was removed.. So the world cup cross member with nolathane rubbers is exceptable for everyday use.

I will change back to the standard cross member and test this out. I have a sprigett bearing noise [8~2] so engine has to come out. While the engine is out I will change the gearbox for a taller first 2.71:1 and this should transform it.
