if you want a run down of parts and tips on installation i will be happy to oblige or maybe you want to find out for yourself half of the enjoyment of an engine conversion is banging your head against a brick wall or is that just me  

Hi Tractor any help would be appreciated.  I don’t have the servo and have the GBS pedal box so master cylinder is reversed into cockpit.  Going to order the retro Ford mounts today.

Has anyone taken out a Pinto and installed Zetec engine.

Did you use kit spares or Retro Ford mounts.

any advice and any pictures?

Tony

Great weekend was worth the 4 1/2 hour drive up in traffic jams.
only my son could fall asleep in Matt’s Zero!!!!!!  

Great drive out just should have told Andi there was a hole behind his seat..... 

Thanks for organising this Tractor.

Roll on Santa Pod

Anyone camping tonight?????

Elliot and I will be there trying to get the car ready..... hopefully be there tomorrow....going to be the big test after rebuild..... have a 10mm & 13mm spanner and duck tape!!!!!!!!!

Great news it’s still on.  Going to try and get there tomorrow.  Revs will be low!

Any update on the Tamworth camping weekend. Is this still on?

Any update on the condition of the field?

I know a number of us carrying 5l of petrol behind our backs in the boot....  With fitting the Weber twin 40's it drinks dinosaur fuel so a reserve of 10L is a great safety net...... When I stripped the car down I noticed there was space to fit the 10l tank without compromising boot space.....

So I have managed to commission the reserve fuel tank with solenoid valves and two fuel pumps.

so have main tank and 10l reserve.

also completed the rear boot and side covers.

Due to the bad weather in our area tomorrow this meet is cancelled.  Will arrange the next meet and post the information.

Meet will be held at 11:00 Sunday 23rd May at

McDonald’s 

Sandy's Hill Lane
Frome
BA11 4DH
England

have had a great response from the Facebook page and good number of people turning up.

Thank god for people like you Trevor!

really looking forward to this event if you need any help let me know.

Ok its official 1st South West meet is on Sunday 23rd May. We are meeting at Frome Will give details later. Chatter about driving to Weston Super Mare as a drive out and Chips!!!!!!!

First Meet!  Thinking of Sunday 23rd May.  Can you let me know if your interested and your location and will try and work out the best place to meet.

It should just push back on.  Polarity dose not matter so it can go either way.  Make sure terminals and the pins in the plug are clean.

As a test put a jumper wire in across the terminals in the plug "make sure ignition is on!" and reversing lights should come on if not no point fitting it until you find the problem.

I have just booked for camping.....

Thanks Steve

For the moment I have used solid pipe.  But will look into getting a flexi hose for it.

My son and I will hopefully be camping.  Ray Stevenson said he is interested too.

Anyone interested?  See picture attached 

This has been one of those project that you start... wish you had not started.... and then very pleased with the result.

Many thanks to Richy for all the advice and support.

Thanks Bob that would be helpful
