You're damn right pal. It does make sense and my job easier. I did ask Mark to double the mount plate thickness and fit more vertical gussets and a box in plate on the front. I guess we were on the same lines, just a change of top mount.

In the fuel system i see you have a non standard filter. Where do you get them from and are they replaceable or cleanable.

It's from torques on eBay. You can clean them I think but it will just get replaced with a ford one,I only wanted it for the bracket etc.

I would remove the photo of the invoice with your address on it if I was you (if that is your details) I would prefer people not to know the location of a car that might be stolen.

Top job so far mate! You can't go wrong with a Mondeo especially when it's one with a cosworth engine in it.

What are the plans about color or decals?
