  1. You can get a nice floor pedal box with resoviours, 0.7 and 0.75 cylinders, balance bar and dash bias adjustment for about £200. I will dig out the details if you like. There are a few little adjustments I made for heel n toeing but generally they're pretty good and a 1/3 of the price of some.
  2. I think 2psi would suffice. Have a word with Richard at GBS who provides them.
  3. I was just about to say the same!!! Terry, you'r a God (and not to mention a Nutter as well) Mind you, saying that, they were never terrible unless you hit undulations in the surface like a put hole or cats eye. However, where I live that's all the bloody roads are made of.

    I know what you mean. It's almost like it took a sharp downwards spiral around the 12th of November 2005 (Just joking ) You young whipper-snappers don't know you're born. Now, back in the day........ Seriously though, necessity is the Mother of invention and if the forum has slackened off a bit, it may be because there isn't as much need for it technically. Hopefully, there will always be a need for the social side though.
  5. Now, wiring isn't my bag in any way, shape or form so I haven't a clue why I'm even thinking about this. Basically, the engine's in and I have a nice little over-chassis wide pipe exhaust supplied by Spencer Ashley on my sexy looking Zetec. All I have to do now is connect up some plumbing and electrics and I should be OFF!!!! BUT.......... I hate the shoddy wiring that's part Sierra, part Vicky Green and part re-wired at the side of the road last year because of an electrical fire on the way to Goodwood that burned and melted the whole of the main loom behind the ignition!!! So, I had a drink (it normally starts with a drink) and got a thinking about what is the minimum I can get away with if I'm going to build a LEGAL wiring loom (i.e. Indicators, brake lights etc) and what gauges of wire would it need? Has anyone had a crack at drawing up a diagram?
  6. Just bumping this up again as a couple of members need to identify what rack they have. To avoid any confusion, we provide racks for what we call a Sierra and Escort rack because the ones we have came off a Sierra and an Escort. This might sound strange but some people have Escort racks in the later Sierra apparently. The Escort racks have a larger and smaller rounded end where the Sierra is more like a rounded triangle on the larger mounting. The Sierra ones also come with blocks to raise them up and are much more detailed to manufacture which is why there is a difference in price. If you think you have a different rack to these two, send me pictures BEFORE ordering.

    Amazing Sight

    She really is a sight. Had the pleasure of seeing her at Dunsfold last year. Please remember everyone that she is keep aloft by donations and they are critically low on funds so if you get the opportunity, drop a few quid in the bin. Look forward to seeing her at Farnborough soon
  8. Hi Yanto Looks like you have a set already. For the record, the cost for members is £30 including postage for member and £33 for non members. These are for Escort racks and the Sierra ones are £40 and £44 for non members.
  9. That looks great mate. Let me know payment details and I'll sort it out. Thanks again. L.
  10. Oi Marcus How much for the Lady on Your Profile. In fact, how much for her onthe Bonnet. In fact....!!!...????xxxxxxx (BTW, cheers Nick. Looks great but can you make it bigger? Would like "Knockie" to stand out more if poss
  11. I'll order one now Nicky old fruit. Can you do "Knockie" on it the same as yours? Resend me your PayPal account when you're ready. (Now, about the rest of the bonnet )

    Steering

    1. Why cannot the rack be moved over? 2. If you can't move it over, why not extend the track rod end?
  13. I have never used Adrian Flux but would never even consider them because of the blazing trail of disgruntled and mislead customers and former customers on here. I do have experience with Frank Pickles and have found them to be cheap and have great customer service in my opinion.

    Pinto Sump Chopping

    Hi Stuart I can do it for you for £90 plus postage. Will drop you a PM later with details.
  15. ^^^ The winner is Mat ^^^ My effort: "Hoddie can't take any more debates on Sliding Pillar and Light Weight issues.
  16. Shouldn't have to remove anything not connected with he chassis. Just undo the bolts between GB and engine, a tappy, tappy to split and Bobs you'r Auntie. If you need to move the car, I suggest a strap around the cross member to support the GB.
  17. Be interesting to find out who it is as I'm quite often out there seeing my Mum.
  18. There are thousands of 2b's out there sitting in garages with nothing to do. I wouldn't worry too much as ebay will have them for decades to come.
  19. Bargain. £1500 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Robin-Hood-2B-Starter-Kit-/260617206969?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cadfefcb9
  20. I'm not the greatest fan of the Sabelt harnesses supplied with the kit but they are adequate and I haven't had any issue with slippage. Notimpressed may be right and it could be how they're threaded.
  21. Probably a similar configuration to me Bob. I'm running Caterham wishbones which is much more suitable IMHO. These aren't mine but similar. Because of the angle of the suspension unit and wider mounting point, a lighter spring is preferable.
  22. That's what it's for mate. Had a look at the Pinto one but doesn't it leave gaps? Don't have a Zetec one but thought it may have more material. However, if you're sure I need a Pinto one, I'll go with your recommendation as you've fit it already Had a nightmare today. Went to put the starter on and no way Jose!!! F**king engine out again to get the sump off so thought I would shorten it and put a plate on the housing. 2 steps forward and one step back. Zorst turns up next week and reckon will be there by the end of June (bit of Gardening leave). Popping up for a beer one day? PS How do I change the Topic. Need a pinto one now.
  23. Has anyone got a Zetec Bellhousing / Engine cover plate going spare? Cheers
  24. I was thinking lots of things about holes and bears, all of which was totally inappropriate and would have me banned, locked up or both.
