not sure,

whoever is gonna do this should get some calipers from the scrappy and see what could work...

If a 1983 Fiesta was available with rear discs I'll eat several large hats.

I'll eat one too!

I think the way to do this is to go to a scrappy as $way has said and just go and see what looks most suitable. Alot of them will be fitted to cars with 14" wheels plus, so it's gonna be a case of lookin for the smallest setup you can get I reckon.

I still reckon a 205 1.9GTi setup would be a good starting point, but maybe that's only because I am familiar with them. They are a failry flat caliper (wheel side of the hub) from what I remember. Then again, perhaps it's best to look at what has a suitable PCD in the disk?, as the studs from the mini hub will be passing through it. You'd also want one with quite a deep inset too, maybe that's where the 205 ones would not suit thinking about it. If it helps, I can get some measurements of the disks etc from my 306, maybe tomorrow?
