Brining this back to the top. Does anyone know off hand what the length/pitch caliper bolt is needed for this swap?
Thanks

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. I have a set of calipers and rotors that I never fitted to my Focus as you can't use them with 15" wheels. As my snow tires were 15" and I didn't want to swap calipers twice a year I never fitted them. My Focus was totaled and I now have an SVTC so they're going on next Tuesday.
Thanks
Adrian

There are brackets with those FSVT calipers, right?
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Yes, I got complete SVT Focus corners, calipers, rotors, hubs, upright, LCA etc. From what I've read I just need hardened 3mm washers and it bolts up with the same brake hoses, correct? The rest of the stuff will go on flee-bay or sit in my basement for 10 years and get binned  Thanks Adrian

Can somebody please post a picture of where the 3mm spacers go...I understand that they go between the knuckle and the caliper, but am having trouble visualizing it...thanks.

Here ya go.. as you stated, they go between the knuckle and the caliper mounting bracket. If you look real close in this picture you can see the edge of them:
If you were like me.. now you are wondering where you can find the "illustrious" spacers. From another post running in parallel to this:

FYI..
I ended up getting mine at McMaster Carr. They are hardened steel Belleville washers, part number 96445K267. They are 1.5mm in thickness each, so you need 8 of them total, which you can get in one package. If you opt for stainless (96475K267), you will need 2 packages. They fit perfectly for me. These aren't some cheap low carbon steel K-Mart blue light specials, they are Grade 6150 Chrome Vanadium Steel. The alternative is 17-7 PH Stainless Steel
Belleville washers are "spring washers", which maintain tension when force is applied to their surfaces and can be used to prevent bolt loosening.
