Hydraulic Handbrake - Rear Disc Conversion

[Alan G]

Going doing a rear disc conversion on the Mk1, from what I've gathered sierra 2wd cossie calipers with mk3 fiesta discs are the way to go... But I was thinking about plumbing in a hydraulic handbrake (no MOT over here) as I was at it... What calipers etc. would be ideal for this setup or can the cossie ones only be used with cables?

Haven't a clue bout Cossie calipers but I'm using Mondeo calipers on the Escort with hydraulic handbrake!
