All seems fine. Just sprayed in some wd and worked with with a screwdriver. Everything on the bonnet is also greased up now.

Managed to get it open and I played with the hinges and now it opens on the latch. Kind of worried about it flying open on me now though

If you post on the Ford forums they'll say you're done the right thing if that makes you feel better

Just fitted a new bonnet and thought everything was aligned. Closed it down and it latched but now it won't unlatch from the inside. How do I get it open? I got my gf to hold the latch and I tried pulling it but it's going nowhere. Is it safe to drive even though it won't unlatch from the...

I was going to turn an 18mm groove into the bottom of the quiafe knob so that it located and didn't rattle. But your idea might be better

That RS looks proper council

It wasn't me

Did some more on the shifter today. Started by adding a recess onto the collar I had left on the shaft. I then had a rummage at work in the scrap metal bin and found a bit of 28mm OD aluminium. Turned this down with an internal lip to the diameter of the step on the shaft and an ID of 18mm...

I'll be milling a slot lower down for the dowel pin to sit through and then bonding this to the original plastic section that will be cut down. The OD of the original black plastic is 15mm so should slide over nicely. Fingers crossed. :smile:

Headlight stickers look horrendous so I'd take it on the chin and that they did you a favour buddy. Look forward to the build!

I seem to be building quite the pile of parts! I will update properly when I get chance but today I started work on turning my aluminium gearstick shaft. Taking inspiration from the BMS and the PMS shifter I've decided to make my own. How hard can it be? I have a few ideas for stiffening up the...

You have to drive them mate

Apparently proper rough

Those are some long exhaust tips

Nearly everyone is uninsured In Bradford as no one can afford the insurance for living in Bradford

Slip the policeman first on the scene £50 and they're all yours.

Hope it wasn't stolen. But it is Bradford

Low BHP can often be linked to bad timing/fuel issues so i think getting a car that has had belts done at a reputable garage is important. Either that or one with no belts, and take it to a specialist yourself

Deox C bought, cheers gus.

And the sensors were still working okay afterwards? That's my issue, i'm not really wanting to fork out on 2 new abs sensors!

@Gus Those deox crystals look amazing! I like the idea of just being able to submerge them in a bucket in my basement. Will it be okay used with the ABS sensors?

They look great Marc, but maybe slightly overkill just for the hubs? I'm intending on painting them anyways, so not looking for the best finish in the world. I'll have to have a look at those! Never heard of the deox crystals. I am worried about the balljoint pinch on these used hubs after...

Bought some used 60mm hubs to press new bearings into but i'm wanting to clean them up of all their rust whilst i'm at it. I had thought sandblasting, but hoping to avoid removing the ABS sensors as they always break. Is this doable if i tape it all up beforehand? A while back I used to use...

ahh, yeah m14 are more.

No it's not.

I saw you torque them at csf 🙈😂 What you torque to?

I'm running Watfields spacers. I'm not sure what sort of chamfer they're running. Can easily find out.

There's nothing on the face, apart from oxidation. Ill wire brush them all and report back. Just odd both fronts are doing it

I believe they've been re-powerdercoated. They also had some horrible plasticote on them so there may be some left behind in there. Sorry OP for threadjacking
