Hi, having a problem with my indicators. The loom is from a sierra.. Problem i have is that when i fit the rear n/s indicator bulb and indicate right the left indicator flashes too? If i take the rear back out the right front flashes on its own but faster as normal indicating theres a light out. If i indicate left then just the left flashes as normal. Any ideas? Thanks for reading Gareth

ive got a 10mm feed and a 8mm return on my injected setup no issues at all. Most injected pumps are 10mm to the HP pump. HPH Gareth

Just thought id post as ive fitted v6 vauxhalls to other cars but the prinicipal would be the same. You will need. Type 9-vaux bell housing. Flat type 2.0xe flywheel 2.0 xe pressure plate. xe starter (sure the v6 one was different its been a while) clutch plate (same as one used on ford to vaux xe conversion (cant remember which one it is.) Adapt to hydraulic clutch or stick with cable? strip engine to bare minimals as it weighs a ton Pedal box Custom mounts. Basically the same as fitting a vaux redtop to a 2b as they use the same engine pattern. Do a search for a redtop cnversion mate HPH Gareth

]just as a little update. If you want any sort of electronic speedo you can buy one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160399328576&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_823wt_939 Now usually they go in the box but if your setup is like mine and is a nightmare (box out job) to get at the cable where it fits to the box then discovered yesterday that you can leave the origonal cable in place. What you then have to do is cut approx 15-20mm off the metal shroud where it would connect to the mechanical speedo. All you have to do the is push this onto the sensor and jubilee the two together. Works a treat. Also if the sensor doesnt quite match the pulses of your electronic speedo then you can get a sequencer from DOM at migweb which alters the pulses to suit for you. HPH Gareth

i like it but how do i get to my subscribed threads/user cp?

Cheers guys, its a capri one i belive and £60 notes new off the bay so not bad. Hopefully ill get it on the rd soon. Hope to see peeps at a meet in the future. Gareth

Hi there people, this has pretty much cleared things up for me. I have managed to find a car trailer for £40 a day so not bad me thinks. Thanks for all the replies Appreciated

Cheers for all the replies guys. The problem is, i have to get my 2b 50 mile away. I havent got the 200notes hss want for a trailer at the mo. Would it be acceptable to tow a vehicle using a ridgid tow bar to an MOT test center then?

Has anyone had any experiance with these by anychance? Would i be able to use one with my 2b do you think? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RECOVERY-FRAME-TOWIN...#ht_1057wt_1165 Regards Gareth

Managed to get hold of a set of cremes, Thanks for the offer Steve appreciated. What other rads could i use from a scrappy? Gareth

pm sent mate

just been looking on ebay for rads, from looking at the pics, im wondering if i havent got a sierra rad? The donar was a 2.0 pinto sierra but the rad has the fill cap on the top? Any ideas? It doesnt have a fan switch either. Gareth

Had my 2b in to be rolling roaded and setup today, unfortunately it looks like my injectors have packed in. Some arnt cycling properley whatever that means? They are the creme ones at present. What i need to know is what other ones could i use/source from a scrappy? Also the ford sierra rad im using has burst unfortunately. Anyone got any idea what rad i could use in its place? Not sure on the physical size at the moment as i havent had it back. Does anyone know the size of the ford unit? Thanks for reading Gareth

great stuff.. Right ill try all as said and post back. Thanks Gareth

Hey all. Finally got round to doing some more work on my 2b. What i have noticed tho is that the suspension is squeeking when you bounce it... Any ideas on how to stop this? Thanks GAreth

cheers Jamie.... There website isnt working. Any other places i could browse online? Thakns Gareth

Happy days, thanks lads. Managed to find them. Any idea where i can get the stainless grills that con on the side of the 2b's? Need to blank the old exhaust hole up as it now comes out the other side. muchos gracias

Hey all, just wondering, where would i get a couple of the snap on fasteners for my 2b roof? A couple have snapped. Ive searched the iinternet but cant find them Thanks alot Gareth

cheers for the reply mate. That doesnt mean nothing to me to be honest. the sender would be off a newer ford, ie a mondeo or summit. Thanks anyways tho appreciated

hey all, im nearly there on my concersion now. I have fitted a re-built xe with ms v3 extra and blackbird boddies into my 2b. My next bit is to get the old astra gte 16v digi dash to work with the type 9 box. Now i have bought an adapter that allows you to fit an electronic sender to the box. What i would like to know is has anyone done this as yet and if so do you have any advice? Does anyone know how many pulses per rev a new ford speedo sender has? Last but not least does anyone have a pic they could post of the type 9 box where the speedo cable enters the box? Thanks for any input, much appreciated Gareth

well done mate. must have been hard we did liverpool to landsend on motorbikes last week in 3-4hrs and my ass was numb as hell after that so god knows how you felt. There was a group of lads from the marine commando's at lands end when we got there that had just done the same as you but in reverse. Total respect.... Well done

who was up at the cat and fiddle tonight? as above, had the owners badge in the window. I was looking around for someone without a helmet/ leathers so could say hi, but couldnt see. I was on the black fireblade parked next to you. Nice car. Gareth

mine is to feed the hp pump, obviously, but also when cornering to stop the fuel slopping about before it gets to the hp pump. Im also considering building a corsa pump and swirl pot into the origional tank. What do you think?

cheers dan what about overall sizes? also connection sizes? Thanks Gareth

right, i need to make a swirl pot for my 2b. Am i right in thinking that they are just flow and return in from LP pump and tank? Then flow to HP pump and return back from FPR? Could i make one out of 100mm copper with 10mm spigotts for the LP pump flow and return and 22mm flow for the HP pump and a 10mm spiggot for that return? IM a heating engineer, and have no probs braising to blank the ends etc. Ive allready got the materials so would just be saving money, just not sure if i can use the copper etc. Also do you think the sizes above will be ok or can i use 10mm for the HP aswell?
