botters · 02-02-2010, 08:27 PM

nice van that mate just a couple of questions, where did you get your fueltank from as its the only thing holding me up on my zetec van also where did you get your sideskirts. i tried flipping the axle on mine originally not only do the brackets for shockers not line up but due to the hubs being offset from the centre of the axle it also makes it higher! a lot higher lol!!

hello mate,
If you phone up any of you local pannel companys etc... and ask for a escort van petrol Injection Fuel tank.

As for the beam. you dont want to flip it. All you are doing is moving it from underneath leaf springs. To sit on top of them. I have a few pics of it done. If you need anymore let me know.

botters · 03-02-2010, 07:49 PM

cheers pal im ok for pics of the axle ive done mine like yours shortly after my flipping/making higher incident lol!
