It's a bit hard to tell but they might be bigger discs as well, standard size is 259mm and I think there were 4 different size discs available with the Hi-Spec caliper kits back in the day so measuring those discs on it will be useful info for selling the calipers
I'd say have a look at a policy of it's own for the fiesta with zero NCB
Only say that as all my NCB (10 years) is used for my 172 Cup with limited mileage & I'm paying £193 but my daily is a normal 172, 10k miles a year and it's £230 with zero NCB - so it might not be as bad as you think 🤷♂️
Depends what the end result you're after looks wise is tbh, on my Williams I was after as close to OEM finish as possible so went with paint
But on my track car I wasn't bothered about looks/finish & wanted something durable & cheap so went with gloss black powdercoat
I don't actually know tbh, all I do know is that's it's a period correct race spec engine as he does hill climbs & sprints in it so it's got to be the right spec for the class he runs in
The Williams and ph2 Valvers have the exact same seats, just a different cloth pattern but they certainly are the best of the bunch
It was the leather seat option in the Valver that used the R19 front seats
Yep (y)
Unfortunately getting the fluid out is going to piss out all over the place & make a mess no matter what you do so use some cardboard & plenty of rags to soak up the worst of it
The pipe circled in red goes to the power steering fluid reservoir and the 1 in green connects to the pump
The nut & bolt that connects the column & rack looks like this and it goes on the shaft you circled in green
No need to touch any of those, on the bendy joint at the bottom of the steering column, on 1 side of it is a 13mm nut, undo that, pop the bolt out and it's disconnected from the rack
Here's some diagrams of the system, basically you need a standard fuel rail that has the regulator built into it and the correct pipes
Number 5 in this pic is the vacuum pipe that connects to the original regulator
I'd be looking at the mechanism from underneath to see what it's doing when operated and making sure both back wheels are locking up properly
Just a thought plucked from my arse so could be useful or total b****cks but I'm thinking along the lines of the cables not being fully seated in their...
My 1st thought was perhaps it was some kind of cold air feed but there's just solid metal on the other side so god only knows why they did it 🤷♂️
Funny story though, the car needed an engine & a guy on here was breaking a cup so I bought the engine & a load of other mechanical bits & bobs at...
Those are the 2 bars that 1 end attaches to the wishbones and the other to the chassis leg, just look at where the wishbone bolts go & you'll see the bar
As for the gear linkage, follow it to it's very end inside the rubber boot & undo it from there, don't touch the clamp part of it, that's...
The top part of the belt (on a standard 172 cup setup at least) goes underneath the water pump pulley otherwise it rubs the cover.
On that setup I think it's a 4pk belt that you need to stop it rubbing
The belt will only rub the cover if it's routed incorrectly -can't see the video for some reason- the belt needs to go underneath the water pump pulley
