Hi, anyone out there got a cam belt cover for a Pinto, the old man has just changed his existing Rocker to a chrome one, unforthunately the car came without a cam belt cover. Chrome would be nice but that is not important?

Greenie

I have got a pair of ford sierra rear spax gas adjustable dampers.

These are the best dampers to fit on the rear end of your hood if yuor using the standard sierra setup.

They have got 18 different damper settings and i have used them for 2000miles maximum.

Reason for sale is i have fitted gaz coilovers all round.

Paid £100 for them,

will take £65 and ill cover the cost of postage

Not to sound thick, taking into account I am new to all this. So please be patient. I have a 2B Plus which I did convert the drums to disc and fitted an LSD, I swapped the complete for one from a Sierra 4x4, but never toched the shocks which look pretty standard. I am interested in these if they will help me in any way.

So as far as fitting and performance is concerned; Are they a straight swap and how will they enhance my handling?

I am very interested in these.

Hi,

I am looking for a pair of matching gauges with white faces, 1 oil & 1 Volt, must be compatable to a 1.8 Zetec,. I know this may be asking a lot, but can anyone help?

Greenie

hi gordon

 

thats very much for your input, have you done the conversion yourself? isthere anything else that i will need while i am at the scrapyard?

 

Thanks

I ended up swapping the complete rear axle from a 4x4 Cosworth with LSD, ( was a very lucky find)pretty simple really a very straight forward swap, shortening the hand-brake was the biggest issue and that was not that bad, check the mods page on the following.

Good luck!

Show us all a picture then!!!

On it's way when I can figure how to attach it, my file is 2 big?

Greenie

The whole rear end or just the LSD, driveshafts, hubs and complete brakes.

I used a comlete rear end from a Cosworth 4x4 and it went under a treat.

Greenie

They are sort of rounded allen screws

 

see here

Thanks for the help, all sorted after picking up the materials I needed at Newark on Sunday.

Greenie

I used 4mm stainless socket button screws

Not to sound thick but what are button screws?

Greenie

We have 3mm "LOOK-A-LIKE" carbon on the car riveted at about 1" intervals.

 

Easier to maintain than stone chipped stainless

 

Ian J

Ian do these not crack when riveted, I was goingeither Stic-a-flex them or use small allen head stainless bolts?

Greenie

What you have will give a better ride than Zimmers if you have uprated shocks. Probably even if you don't.

 

Dan

Thanks Dan,

I'll stick with what I have .

Greenie

I used 'carbon fibre effect' abs then trimmed it with a small u channel silver trim.

Plenty of carbon fibre sheets ( real or otherwise ) on e-bay.

Cheers .............My next stop!

Greenie

I am after a pair of rear Carbon Fibre Stone Guards for a 2B Plus......Anyone got any ideas?

Greenie

if they are the same as on the 2b, the rears will need the reflector edges touched up with a file to pass

 

I am at Newark on Sunday, if anyone is interested I will through these in the boot?
