Hi Matty,

R31 skyline. I  haven't done it yet but it looks quite easy to set up.

Cheers

Matt

Hey Matty,

Hope these are what you're after? If not let me know.

I got them off a dude who was wrecking a Skyline R31 on eBay and he sent everything pictured for $40.00 inc postage.

My plan is to just bend the bracket to suit the escort transmission tunnel then knock up a cable to go to the handbrake and everything should be sweet.

If you want more pics of this conversion that others have done send me your email address.

Cheers

Matt

I found a picture of my first car. MK II RS2000 that I bought back in 1995.

Sadly as most young guys do I wrote it off going through a roundabout doing only 40kph!

I ended up buying another 2 door MK II RS and wsapping all the running gear over.

Cheers

Matt

Go the Volvo calipers rebuilt and sandblasted. 
 
Big thanks to Craig (Sutton Motorsport) for his help.

Am about to order a set of these.
 
If you want some let me know and we can do a bulk buy.  I posted a link if you are keen under the brakes section.

Unfortunately the new project of HomeBrew is getting in the way of the escort project and I must say the quality is suffering as well!!!
 
Having beer on tap is both good and bad.
