I'm in the process of building a mk6 escort track car but have thought of a problem in advance!!

I don't know of any zetec-e engined car which didn't have power steering!

Naturally, I am removing this in search of feather-weight lightness!

Hopefully a member of this site owns, or knows of an auxiliary belt which will work when the P/S pulley is missing?

Thanks in advance,

Ralph.

 

sorry, no help with the belt whatsoever, but my mk2 escort doesnt' have power steering and will have a zetec in it. been done loads of times before.

have a looky here.. it might help:

my dad has a zetec in his dax rush.
it dosnt have power steering. i will ask him next time i talk to him what he done

 

my xr2i 16v zetec E was on a 92 plate and didn't have power steering. It just had a tri belt setup with crank, water pump and front mount alternator pulley drives.

 

Cowboi - that would be class mate, cheers

Or anyone else who knows the answer straight away? That'd do nicely!

 

the answer is: cut your belt to size and take it to your local motor factors... they should be able to find one the right length for you

 

Gates- 68401

This is an early Escort engine, yours may be different..

 

That belt would be SPOT ON!

Is that just off a really early zetec?

 

TBH I'm not sure what it's officially for, we tried a few from our friendly motor factors, this one is made by Gates - part number 68401, should be easily available. The engine is from a 94 Escort, it went into a MK3 car so the power steering pump got taken off.

 

ive got a zetec-e in my xr2 and dont run PAS.

i just went into the motorfactors and asked for an auxilary belt for a non PAS or A/C zetec and they handed one over!
