Can't order from that website and those are sold.



That's what to search for

Found this so far (can't be certain if it is compatible).

If various models have the bigger brackets at standard try looking on eBay to pick up a used caliper set with the brackets. May not cost any more than trying to source secondhand brackets on their own.

Unfortunately it seems there aren't many available.

There are loads available. The 300 mm front disc brakes are extremely common.

The 300 mm front disc brakes are fitted as standard on every 2WD Kuga MK2/MK2.5 with unpainted calipers from the factory.

Couldn't find any in non UK websites.

Only that above.

The problem is not easy to order from that website plus it is in German, so can't be sure if it is for right or left wheel.

However, thank you.

The 300 mm brackets are symmetrical. It does not matter whether they are left or right. They fit on both sides. The calipers are different for left/right but that does not matter since you do not need them anyway. You can use your existing calipers.

If you do not speak or understand German, you can easily use Google Translate or translate the website in your browser.


To be honest Ebay is one of the easiest platforms to buy used car parts. Most sellers are more than willing to sell parts globally. Ebay can even handle import/tax activities for a predefined fixed price. All you need is a credit card or a Paypal account.

I regularly order parts from the UK, USA, Germany, Italy, Poland etc. and have them delivered without any problems.

Don't you have any hassle with customs? Since Brexit I have problems with customs almost every time I import anything to the UK, even from just across the water in Germany! I assumed a similar level of hassle would occur in the opposite direction?

Customs in The Netherlands is well understaffed due to the enormous number of packages from China. Many packages easily pass customs without being processed. Especially the smaller ones or low value items. Customs usually only take samples that are fully processed. About 90% of all items just arrives without any additional costs. I also have the strong feeling that packages from the UK are not particularly their priority.

When I buy larger Items from the UK, I often use eBay International Shipping. The seller sends the item to a central eBay hub and eBay handles transport, customs and tax for a predefined price. This usually works extremely well without any unpleasant surprises.

In the past I also bought items directly from a UK webshop. This is a bit more difficult since they have to sell without VAT to prevent me from paying VAT twice. When importing items, I already pay 21% VAT in the Netherlands. My experience is that not all webshops are willing to sell without VAT.

The first seems doesn't include the whole set.

The second is front left seems fine.

Third the carrier is missing.

Fourth seems fine.


All of these include the 300 mm brackets and that is all you need. Just sandblast them and they will be like new. As already said you do not need the calipers since these are identical to your existing ones.

Complete used caliper/brackets are much cheaper than new brackets from Ford. I usually buy a used set and only keep the brackets. Since I already have a set of rebuild spare calipers I usually throw the calipers away.

The dimensions are casted into the brackets so they can easily be identified. You only have to make sure that they either come from a Focus MK3/MK3.5, Kuga MK2/MK2.5 or C-Max MK2.

The shipping fee for the used part from ebay costs a lot.

Would be cheaper or equal price perhaps from autodoc new.

_Update: asked if they can send combined so not to pay double shipping fee.

Found this:

Ford Kuga II carriers do not fit a 2017 Ford Focus 1.0 directly, as they feature M14 mounting holes compared to the necessary M12 bolt size, posing a safety risk. So is that true?

Could they fit somehow?

Focus MK3/MK3.5 are all M14 x 35 mm. Exactly the same as the Kuga.

Only older Ford models like the Focus MK2/MK2.5 and Kuga MK1 used M12 bolts for the caliper brackets.

As I already mentioned several times the 300 mm Kuga brackets are a direct fit to a Focus MK3/MK3.5. I converted at least 6 cars to 300 mm front disc brakes using the Kuga brackets.

Keep going👍

No, those are C-Max MK1 brackets which have the M12 threaded holes.

You need the newer ones with the M14 threaded holes.

Found those. They seem to be from a 2.0 Focus III Diesel Sedan.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/397122689424

https://www.ebay.com/itm/397162555687

And those from Kuga (different versions).

Are those compatible?

Bolts and size etcetera?
