I was searcing the web for the exact same problem, I have hit lucky though, my uprights were from AS motorsport, and they are slightly different design, the mounting plate portion is totally round, so I have found that I can just rotate my bearing carrier to the desired position, punch, drill, and tap, et voila I get the calipers in a better position
couldnt for the life of me work out how on earth you got that handbrake cable to route and actually work in the designed way of the book, not that the book covers much regarding the braking section anyway

The book car uses drums & if you use the same setup from the donor, with perhaps smaller wheel cyls from an escort as I did, you shouldn`t have any problems with brake distribution. The Iva tester who checked mine said everything calculated spot on, not that I could decipher it, he also added that a common problem is people using rear brakes that are TOO good,typically rear discs, thus upsetting the distribution figures etc. I can only imagine the trouble you may have trying to check whether your brakes are too good or not good enough at home, or even worse to sort out a fail afterwards. I took the view it was hard enough to pass the IVA anyway without making it harder for myself, best to keep it simple and modify later if you must.

Can i just add to this my car went through iva fine with drums on the back too and the brakes are very very good for fast road use
Drums do look rubbish  but on such a light car they do the job fine

Apparently disks are common on the back of most cars due to costs and ease of balancing ABS systems
 (I'll be using drums, just a set of mintex shoes and away you go  )
