Just FYI, the filler cap rust will need the cap and filler neck removing, cleaning and treating inside and out, it comes from mud and crap sat on the filler neck, its quite a pain of a job to do!

Its like getting back with your missus after shes had a few batches up her... never the same!

Yeah. Its not too bad, take the little clip off and prise the spring off with a small screwdriver.

Is it a purely electric heater @neil a

@Raceface_13 im just going to wire the live to the blower motor and run it to the battery via a switch as the rest of the car electrica are covered by a kill switch anyway. @Mash. did this in his cup as well so might have more info.

@SharkyUK I would just try and start it and see how it goes, if it works, great, if it goes pop, whack a standard engine in and just cut your losses. Appreciate you are in deep but anything else is madness surely? Do you have any comeback at all on those who have let it get to this stage? IMO...

Hacksaw a 'cross' into the top until you hit metal, then use a chisel and tap it off in sections, best way I found.

Great work Dan, cant wait to get in it again!

I need to sort mine, I dropped a nut into the rear quarter the other day, had a poke about and it had fallen through a hole into the plastic sideskirt!

Ok, il get a few 32 and 25 then :) cheers

Cars looking and going well mate! Can you remember what size/length tek screws you used for the front polys? Going to pinch that and order some!

If you are leaving the rack in the risidual fluid will be enough to keep it lubricated.

If the engine has been changed doesnt mean the fuel setup has, the later models dont have one and that is blanked off - does fuel leak out?

Buy a cheap cupsetup (100ish usually), then get the alternator from RPD on exchange for 90ish I believe if you absolutely must have a new alternator, the brackets will be fine used! Adjuster you can get an uprated stainless one off ebay for £20.00. I would get a DCI rack for £30ish (make sure...

Morning all, does anyone have the pinout for a mk2 ph2 172 interior/engine bulkhead connector? Want to shed some interior wires. Thanks.

I want to do something like this

Almost as bad as me starting the car in-gear at Rockingham and smashing into the roller shutter in the pits!

Or, you could repurpose the rear screen heating elements and setup, thats on a timed relay I believe, so all setup.

Was discussing this with @dann2707 yesterday. Think a battery supply with a relay for a switched ignition would be the best way, they would have quite a draw I would imagine!

As above, AD08r I have been using and rate them.

ACW Motorsport Plastics offer a discount on polycarbs for CS members. I would highly recommend some 15s for cheap tyres and less weight.

Mustang episode was pretty decent but this is not Wheeler Dealers anymore, money seems to be no object, equipment and budget is unrelateable to the home mechanic which is what kept me interested in the UK eps (Not the later ones). Shame! No interest in the other cars lined up!

Can you recall the spec on the bolts that mate the lower inlet to the block? Cheers.

Ive had a number of setups over the years; Sloppy standard: Poor reach due to the height and driving position, throws ok but doesnt feel very positive in the shift. Rebushed standard: Same compromises as above, I didnt really think this was worth the effort! Scenic standard: Better height but...

I believe it comes from the holes for the side strips or the roof gutter strips and runs down.

Very common, dirt and crap builds up on the filler neck, holds moisture and eventually rusts through from inside. Drill the rivets out and the captive bolts for the filler cap (utter arse), treat it from both sides and paint, bolt the filler and cap assembly back on (dont need to use rivets). My...

Whats the going rate for wrapping a mk2? Mine is very tatty and fancy it being done in yellow!

I had spongy brakes after fitting a new rear line across the axle, even after multiple bleeds. Bled with the engine running and its sorted the issue, thanks to @GrahamS for the tip. Take note though, the eezibleed fills the resevoir to brimming and if you dont drain some out (syringe or...

Re-read it, still interested pending details.

Id be interested in dci rack plate for sure! No welding im assuming?
