when i was doing my Zetec engine change i needed to remove the ARB,  i did what some members on here had done and cut the ARB instead of fitting tie bars, i cut it  just to the mounting and welded a big washer on the end to stop it pulling through, i have some pictures if you want to have a go.

hi Longboarder

that's excellent, i've got them the  wrong  way, i'll will try the other way see how it goes.

cheers

my old setup was servo-less, i've done some research  and i have probably got some air in the master cylinder, i didn't fit a bleed nipple to it just a pipe with some solider in the end, i'm just unsure if the pipes are in the right holes.

bore size is  20.6 mm, all standard ford sierra brakes, discs front and drums on the rear, the peddle is solid, but when i brake its like they have brake fade,

hi

i have fitted a Fiat Punto master cylinder, i've bled the brakes and is no air in the system, test drove and the brakes are rubbish,

do i have the pipes in the right place?

Mark 

update,

I changed the friction plate to a Mondeo MK 1 and also changed the pressure plate to the Mondeo,  all working fine. 

thanks again for your help

Mark

Longboarder, tractor, 

Thank you.

Mondeo plate on it's way.

I have the 5 speed type 9, didn't think I needed to change the pin as I'm using the larger Capri bearing, 

Had the engine out today to check i had it the right way and it was, what clutch set up do you have ? 

The zetec plate doesn't  fit the gearbox spines 

Hi, Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The clutch peddle feels normal but I can't get it into any gear, it's a zetec onto a type 9

I have 1.8 flywheel with a sierra friction plate and zetec cover plate with Capri bearing.

Thanks tractor, I couldn't have done it without the help of the club, too many people to mention, so thank you all.

mark 

thanks for the replies, ill have a look into the tie-bar conversion...

mark. 

thanks for your help  tractor, ill figure something out.

mark  

tractor,

did you do anything with the anti-roll bar? 

mark

thanks for the reply tractor, don't think you have the same cross-member and antiroll bar as my car,  i was wondering if anyone with the same car as me had done the Pinto to zetec conversion with the race-line sump, i have hopefully put some pictures on to show the problem.

cheers,

mark   

gents

has anyone put a zetec with race-line sump into a 2B/4...?

if so how...?

Mark

thanks for that, i'll give it a go.

My winter project this time round is fitting a Zetec into my 2B/4

My first task is to make the engine mounts, so, my question is, anyone got pictures of theirs? Or maybe drawings.
