CAR PARTS EXPRESS Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 hi mate...cheers for the message, right to do your conversion you are going to have to change (apart from obious calipers etc) backing plates,stub axles and hubs as they are specific to st150 B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skanty_canty Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 what is the stub axle mate i know about the backing plate would you say it would be easier to change the hole axle striaght from an st or do you think the conversion would be better and cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAR PARTS EXPRESS Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 just had another look there and the whole axle is a different finis code so u are going to need a full st150 axle to do this....maybe find a front end damaged car....I could supply the parts but axle etc would make it uneconomical new.

skanty_canty Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 what do you mean by uneconomical new hehe and i am searching on 247spares.co.uk and other broker web sites to get a good deal and also i need a st hand brake cable as this has different connections at the end to fit on the the calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAR PARTS EXPRESS Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 £39.62 delivered for the cable...its the middle section thats different, looks like the end cable slips off and fits onto the specific st cable. If you cant find a cable or get stuck for any parts give me a shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skanty_canty Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 cheers mate i will do i am also doing a st engine conversion so i will need loads of parts from you to do the conversion. my mate has done this to his but he had problems with the a/c and in the end ripped the a/c out as it was to much of a !Removed! about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 keep an eye on eBay for hubs/stub axles or complete axles. got most of the parts for my conversion from there. i cant see why the axle will be different, the stub axle yes. i bought my handbrake cable for £30(non genuine) and that was the complete thing. the conversion itself is very simple, took me around 4 hours to do my focus. you might also want to think about stainless braided brake hoses too, should cost around £50-£60. you will be cheaper buying a 'real' st at this rate, whats the insurance gonna be like for the engine conversion?
