Hi guys..
I ordered a full float kit from add engineering.
I live in Israel and I thought I'll able to find the calipers needed for the kit here in Israel.
Sadly I can't find them here because Mazda 323 bg 1.8 wasn't sold here.
I have a friend working near Perth who can help out... But he isn't local...
I was Hoping to can get help here...from You guys.. Any direction... Local shop who have these brakes calipers..Or good places to look in...
Any help will be appreciated...

How will you handle maintenance, pads, parts etc down the line though?
You might be better off finding something else that is available over there so you have parts availability.
That Mazda was also sold as a Ford Laser and a few other variants too - maybe poke around there?

Try: https://www.findapart.com.au/There should be similar in other countries closer to you that had that year ford laser or 323 though? _________________

First trip home by myself I got asked "do you have anything to declare?", I asked "like what?", the reply was "car parts, electrical stuff, that sort of thing" - I said I had car parts and the guy said show me - when he realized what I had was for one vehicle, he asked if it was for my personal vehicle and then explained he was only interested in "commercial quantities".

This. Just make sure there is no grease or flammable stuff on the parts. Clean them well. Had some cams confiscated by customs once as there was a little oil smeared on them to prevent rust. Was pissed they took them, but your not going to argue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just another option.
Put a ltr transfer brake on the back of the transfer. Change the uni yoke on the rear tail shaft transfer side to 1ltr (8mm), remove rear handbrake lines, then you can use sierra calipers in the rear.
