Cheapest way may be to use a turbocharged mx5 as your donor if you can find a rusty one. Just don't drive the donor first or you may never build the zero.

All 4 ok makes sense now cos theres an undrilled take off on the manifold if one would have done it.

are you not using the manifold that came with the engine? or are you tapping all four pipes?

I'm in. Just got to get the Friday afternoon off otherwise big blue goes up in the dark.

Have just been looking at web-site " Pickering Traction Engine Rally" & this event is posted as being over 4 days with venue at PICKERING SHOWGROUND YO18 8EA.

 

The site we are booked into is "The Great Yorkshire Steam Fair" & this event is over 3 days with the venue at Allerton Park HG5 0SE

 

Any-one know what the score is? Is this show being pulled in 2 different directions & taking place at 2 different venues over the same week-end?

To summarise from acquired knowledge on this forum the list of joints on the Ford sierra based zero front hubs are as follows.

Top Wishbone to dummy strut/wheel arch carrier = Transit drag link

Bottom ball joint - Lower wishbone to sierra hub = Astra Mark 3 lower ball joint (thanks whiz)

Extended escort steering rack to sierra hub steering arm = Sierra track rod end

Hope this helps

Chris, It is, the escort rack is extended and the extension threads go into Sierra t.r.e into the Sierra hubs.

Sierra to fit Sierra hubs.

This is what I used for Surrey, Half tonneau and half doors for the zero

That's why they are called bucket seats

Have you tried turning it off then on again

I need to confirm a few things first but will do my best to get you an mx5 there.

In my opinion it's not high enough for a breather as you will loose tank capacity only a little bit but it's a small tank. I used a bit of 8mm fuel hose and a stainless set screw and hose clips. I was told that blanking caps are available but never seen any.
