Yes 2 litres is way more then you need for what you want to do. A paint system like two pack would double you 2 litres upto 4 litres once it has been activated and thinned,(not all in one go or it will go solid after a few hours) but I would not go and use that at home in your garage if I was you. So go for some thing like cellulose with a 1 pack lacquer.

???? start them young thats what i say

Hi guys. Salty Thanks for the advice FR31 and fr32 are about the same price. Steve Thanks for the offer of the head but all sorted out now. Cheers Chris

Hi. Have a look on the main RHOCAR site under build tips there a list to help you identify your pinto. It will be marked next to number 4 spark plug hole and I think it gives you the timing settings as well Chris

Hi all. Im in the middle of an engine rebuild 2.0L pinto just finished the bottom end and starting on the head. I was just wondering which is the best cam to go for FR31 MILD ROAD or FR32 FAST ROAD. I will be running twin weber 40's and the bottom end is standard (205 block). my current engine in the car has a FR30 in it and seems to lack top end power but that could be down to the engine getting a bit long in the tooth with all the use and abuse it has had over the last ten years, and do I use it. Also is there much difference between Kent cams and piper cams. Thanks Chris

Yes bye bye LRP :boohoo: only a couple of garages that still sell it in my area that I know of. Thats one of the main reasons for the engine swop (when I finish rebuilding the thing) So I will have to run the current engine on unleaded with an additive when the LRP runs out.

yes the RH mirrors are SVA complient If you mean the type thats in there catalouge

Hi You could also try a produce called Chemical Metal you mix it in the same way as the Plastic padding one but to me seams a bit more stronger to me. I used it on my rad when the bottom hose tube spit at the joint. Held for years till I swoped it for a Coolmans rad.

Yes Sir the CD player is an optional feature on this model!!!!

Hi Rizla I have seen on some kits like Westfield XTR2 Caterham R500 which dont have windscreens that the tax is in a motorbike holder fixed to N/S top corner of the dash panel. As for your brother in law dont know where he stands with the law "sorry" Chris

Hi Steve Just been out in the garage playing about with my engine mounts (open type brachets) like Chris27 said, on my new engine block. you can get into a right old mess with them. Looking at the mounts on the engine in my car they are: 1/ face forward to the front of the car and down. 2/ were it bolts to the block the bracket should face to the rear of the car on both sides of the engine. Mounting elbows inwards if you call them that!!!!!!. Hope this can help you out a bit. Chris

Hi Steve Im watching your post's with interest as Im in the middle of a 20L Sierra engine overhaul to replace the Cortina engine in my S7. Just a suggestion have you put the O/S mount on the N/S and N/S mount on the O/S? Hope you get it sorted out soon and I dont have the problems that you have had. Chris

Bill Count yourself lucky it took Ford four months to get me a new car :gdit: JIM YOU ARE RIGHT

Hi Jim. Im not got to get into a war of word's with you on this sudject on this site, and waste my time and other peoples to look up parts that are likely to be out of service. both of us going on like this is a bad image. Im sorry you feel the way you do but thats life we can't have it all the way we want. The part that was needed is on it's way and the rest has found it way into my garage, so now out of stock. May be your right You seam like a nice guy and you do know what's what, Hope to meet up with you one day soon. Then we can argue about dealer, accessory shop, hoods and life as much as you like. All the best Jim Chris

Mark Vacuum advance pipe is in the post to you and it's more than you will ever use. Cheers Chris

That went out with the ark mate. will a N/S Transit wing do you ? Joking besides parts for the older ford are getting thin on the ground to find. most Pinto engine part you can still get on VOR but even then its some times a job. Jim can get you part number but know for a fact it wont be in stock. vac pipe I can do.

MJ TYKE send me a PM and i will send you some There Jim Ive put my money where my mouth is

well it ture Jim we do stock THING or can get it next day it must be a crap dealer your using!!!!!!!!!

Exmodave is right I work for a Ford dealer and we stock it on the roll in our parts department So give your dealer a try

Hi Can not see a problem using the Sierra flywheel with the Cortina clutch both are 216mm diameter. and both clutch kit have the same AP part number I think. Is your S7 using a Mk 4 or Mk 5 clutch pedel set up? Chris

That what you call GREAT BALLS OF FIRE Poor guy

Hi Ian To paint your GRP you will have to first rub it down with 800 wet&dry or a grey scotch brite, then apply a couple of light coats of Etch primer, (you can get this in spraycans called upol acid # when dry de-nib with 1200 wet&dry, Clean off with panel wipe and apply your top coat if direct gloss or base & clear if you are doing metallic body colour. Hope this is a help Chris

Hi Ian & Jim. As this thread as popped up again I thought Id just let u know that with loads of hard work and elbow grease the old S7 looks as good as new. cheers guys Chris

Got my twin 40s out of a breakers £25 HE HE off a Sunbeam TI. Run's very well after I had rejetted them. so dont care about MPG at that price
