Zetec S rear beam is slightly stronger due to a few added strenghening plates on the hub ends, and the track is slightly wider (20mm or so in total i seem to remember) There were some pictures floating around somewhere (fiesta*turbo.com) The MK3 drums should fit fine. Unless you get one cheap, or want the extra track.. I would just strenghen the mk3 one up with a bar in the middle welded

the mk 4/5 inc zs, the stub axles are a different bolt spacing to the mk3 therefore you need the brakes from a mk4/5 inc zs worth noting that the mk4, has a fork style rear shock mounting |

and the focus rear stub axles with bolt on the mk4/5 inc zs beams, so you can run the focus discs |

Anyways, I collected the Independant rear beam last night... I got informed that the "freak-power" guy doesnt make them himself, a guy at his work does... and this is his last one as he recently passed away. Think this is the 8th in existance, and last one. Enjoy it Jam
