I guess what I want to no is, is the 7 inch diff with push in driveshafts the correct type for a zero. My second question is about ratios I would like it to be a good all round car with the odd track day I am thinking 3.62 ??? It will be using an mt75 gearbox And I gues my third question is does anyone have one they want to sell lol All advice is greatly welcomed Thanks Tom

HiAnyone fitted a Ford diesel i.e 1.8Td from a sierra or Mondeo I have been told that they can be fitted to the type 9 Gearbox I was wondering how difficult this is & what sort of performance does it have. I have a 2B I prefer diesel & finding it a bit difficult to obtain a good SOHC 2 litre Inection Pinto .If anyone has fitted a diesel Ford I would like to know of any pitfalls before buying a diesel donor.

Hi does any one have the plugs with a bit on loom from light/wipers switches? Phill

Hi All, I wanted to source some opinion first before I go any further. I have managed to get hold of a whole 1992 sierra sapphire which I am currently in the process of slowly dismantling. I have only had about 2 full days and a number of cold evenings to look at it so I've just been taking doors and accessories apart. Anyway, when I got the car, it started fine and I managed to drive it onto the drive without any issue. Come about a month later, I cannot get the bloody thing to start (it's the 2.0l DOHC if anybody is interested). I am pretty much certain that the problem is on the electrical side, suspecting either the distributor or the coil. It cranks, …

hey all ive decided to get a zero kit in the near future and was wondering what parts i will need to get that arent included in the kit? i want it to be a new registration so i know ill have to get mostly new parts. also would i be able to put a new zetec/duratec engine in it, get it iva'd and registered then change the engine and gearbox for somthing else at a later date? im particularly interested in a nissan sr20det engine and box. cheers peeps.

Hi i need to know tonight, im scraping a v reg transit diesel i think these have a mt75 gearbox can any one tell me?

I'm looking for any mk1 sierras being broken in the Teesside area. I'm converting my mk2 to a mk1. Could do with the metal work at the front. Rob

hi all, a mate is after a complete donor for a kit he wants to build,must be a 2.ol pinto.he has already done the e-bay and piston head adverts and nowt suitable yet regards,jess.

Hi all I'm new to the kit car world and i've run into a little problem already I'm having trouble finding a Sierra donor vehicle, just wondering if there are any alternatives that can be used for a Zero hat are more easily sourced. Any help would be much appreciated, Many thanks

can you use parts from a scraped car if it has been registered as scrapped for the build of a zero, if so what affect will this have if any on the iva process and registration, many thanks, Carl

Hi all I purchased my kit car during it's build but with no v5, it has a 2litre pinto in it, I'm getting towards the end of the build and ready for iva, after it's been iva'd and inspected, it's time to register, but I don't want a q plate, can I buy a sierra so I get the v5 then change the engine on the v5 to the engine in the kit car with the dvla, take all the chasis id off it and get it destroyed after being stripped, so then I have the v5 with the engine number that's in my kit and all other id, could I then take that to dvla and get them to assign that plate to my car. Thanks

Just cleaning up the donor parts before starting the build but noticed that where one of the bolts go through the diff it, the casing is damaged. any suggestions as to whether it can be repaired and how or am i going to have to get a new diff/case http://s1107.photobu...00/Matt_wood60/ I cant seem to find the missing piece.

Hi All On speaking to GBS today they can supply all the donor parts i will need a part from the gerabox. just wondering how much one will cost me ? and which is the best to go for ? im going for a new zetec engine. thanks

Hi Does anyone know whether you still get new Sierra front upright hubs, I can't see them listed at any of my normal suppliers. They use to be about £30 each new and I was going to swop mine for new ones rather than refurbish the donor ones Any suggestions? GD

Hi I have just found out that the donor vehicle I purchased a while ago for my Zero was declared as scrapped on the document by the original owner rather than sold to me! I'm assuming now that I cannot use this as the basis for registering the vehicle and that I will have to get rid of it as scrap metal. Is that correct? Thanks Luca

1 one of the rear hubs from my donor (1989 2.0 sierra ghia with lobros) the wheel nut studs are threaded. Ive searched ebay and am not sure from the ones listed exactly which one I need. Is there a difference between push in and lobros on the actual wheel mounting hub???

Hi all, does anyone know where I can find details of GBS I have seen it mentioned a few times. Many thanks

As the title says, which lower ball joints does the zero use for its front wishbones? Do the Sierra hubs require any mods?

Hi all, does anyone know what car the top track rod ends on the wish bone is fitted to I need 2 as the old ones are worn. many thanks.

Hi A friend of mine is looking at building a zero and as a result we have some questions. Is any particular sierra required for the donor? Year? It is preferable to fit a newer engine in the zero, probably a zetec, either new or used Can an age related plate be obtained if all the donor parts from the sierra are used and a zetec fitted? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mike

Hello all, I have started a GBS zero this spring and i am just about to fit the engine and gearbox. The next stage for me will be sourcing the correct starter motor,alternator and Engine management system. Now i know i can buy new from kitspares but i would like to source the items from a donor car. Now i know that the fitting of the ,starter motor and alternator should be straight forward.My concern is the Ecu unit and how to configure it. Can anyone share their knowledge with me i would be very grateful. Many Thanks Disco

Hi There, I am brand new to the community (and kit cars) and looking for some help. I have bought an unfinished 2B superspec, but without a V5. The donor parts are from a 1990/91 Sierra, 2.0l Pinto engine, drive train etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Regards MTU
