I have the adapters and they fit well and you can fit the disc's straight over the drive flange.
You may find that the calipers hit the uprights and the center plate may need to be turned to accomadate the caliper. A look at Spikhaus's blog may help. Or try this..... My set up. .http://www.flickr.com/photos/30468413@N03/3599185040/

They always say that a picture is worth a thousand words .....
Everything is much clearer now. Basically, I recently bought an unfinished project and it came with calipers. I need to ask which model of car they came from. I also bought a stripped down sierra a year or so ago which came with the drum brakes. So I pretty much have everything for the drum setup and a set of rear calipers, so I was just trying to figure out if I could easily move directly to the rear discs. I guess all I really need to do is order the adapter plates and some new discs and hopefully everything should be fine  Not too sure exactly what you mean about hitting the uprights though .... in the picture the calipers seem to be well clear. I guess with the disc uprights the caliper is much closer to the upright ..... is that what you mean? I figure the easiest and most flexible option is to make the drum uprights and use the adapter. Thanks for all your help

the book design for the calliper upright makes the calliper foul unless the caliper is swapped from left to right. 3GE can do a revised upright with the plate set 45deg off vertical.

The calipers are not Ford,they are from an Audi TT and I had them lying around in the garage. I intend to replace them with Ford items but not at this time and they are only £40 so fairly cheap but I want to concentrate on getting it sorted cheaply and and in the near future !!!!
