Fit the 300lb. springs to the 13” long rear shockabsorbers in the same manner as the front and hang them on the lugs provided using M12x60 bolts and offer the lower wishbones in place and locate on the corresponding lugs. Now fit to the chassis with M12x70 bolts.

The upper wishbones are mounted with the angle flange facing up, use the long M12x250 thro’ bolts provided to attach to the chassis. To these arms bolt the Fiesta ball joints, after they have been filed down one side to clear the angle flange, with M10x30 bolts provided. Inverted Mk. 2 Fiesta front hubs are used on the rear of the Riot.

The calliper mounting lugs face to the rear and the redundant steering arms are removed with a hacksaw. These uprights are bolted onto the Fiesta struts with two 12mm bolts the outer hole for which is used as the lower pivot, the other hole is used to bolt the two angle spacers / stiffeners provided one each side of the forging. With these bolted in place with M12x50bolts slide the M12x180 bolt thro’ the outer bush on the lower wishbone and offer up the upright to it. Once in place slide 5 washers up to the spacer then slip one rod end side spacer on.

The toe link is bolted to the wishbone with one M10x25bolt and when the protective boot and locknut has been fitted to the rod end it can be screwed in place and correspondingly slid on the thro’ bolt. Now fit the last side spacer and locknut and rotate the upright to meet the upper ball joint. Tap the ball joint shaft into the aperture and slide the pinch bolt through picking up as you do the rear wing support assembly. The rear suspension is now in place, do not tighten yet as the drive shafts have yet to be fitted. On the Fiesta the wheels are held on with bolts, if you prefer these can be replaced with studs at this stage to keep front and rear the same.

The discs used on the rear are from the smaller engined Fiestas and the callipers are from the V6 Sierras. The calliper support brackets need to be modified by trimming down the threaded portion to centre the calliper on the disc. See picture below. Use some old wheel nuts to temporarily hold the disc in place and offer up the calliper and you will find that the threaded lugs need to be trimmed down until they are flush with the main body to achieve this. It maybe necessary to run an 8mm tap through the trimmed down lugs. Note that the callipers fit with the nipple uppermost, one of the calliper mounting bolts also serves as a support for the wing stay. Rear brake pads will need relieving with a half-round file in order to clear the centre of the disc. As an option the rear wings can be supported by chassis-mounted stays if preferred, see photos.
