HI

will a 2WD saph turbo heatshield fit an escort cosworth and if so what brackets will i need to fit

i currently have a standard heatshield on and i have had a stainless one on but both of them have been touching the strut brace and i think a 2wd saph one may do the job but dont want to buy one if its not going to fit

thank graham

 

anyone....

 

Graham, if I get chance over the weekend I will whip off my escos heatshield and try the saff one on.
It will only give you an indication though as its not completely in tact after Donington the bottoms been burnt, but should be good enough to tell.

Will try and take some piccies too

 

ok ben that would be great as my car is in bits at the moment as i am having a change from all the chrome to somthing a little more suttle and was wanting to change the heatshield as i dont want it to rub of my new paint

I will wait for your reply

thanks graham

 

Graham, sounds interesting what you doing??

 

erm putting a 2wd manifold on his esc cos

 

I am having all the chrome tanks and rocker cover coated in black crackle as it was all to bling for me and i am having the strut brace painted in gunmetal grey and changing all the hoses to black roose ones

i have a vision in my head and i hope it turns out looking good just undesided on what to do regarding heatshield as the ones i have had fitted just touch the strutbrace so i was thinking a standard 2wd saph one may be an option if i could get it to fit

 

I gathered that you nugget! :dur:

 

Yes it'll fit, you just need to shorten the bracket that fits at the bulkhead IIRC.....

 

cheers for that will get it order then

 

where does he say that? he only mentoned the heatshield

 

ive not heard anyone say that for ages

 

not the best pictures but I think you need to cut the front of the heatshield down and put on a new side mounting bracket on, as the front fools the intercooler and airbox pipes

there is an existing screw in the bulkhead that looks like the rear mounting bracket would fit to



not the best condition of heatshield to try though

 

Sounds much like my engine may mate........i'll get some pics up for you

 

Mark,
Still want to see pics with new rims!

 

I'll take one of these Ment to put heatshield,,, love taking the **** out of Karlos

 

Max i read it as heatshield and not manifold

Them stella's make all the words look the same PMSL

Last laugh is always on you Max tho!

 

Think your dislexia is running off on me

 

I have only had it out of the garage once so i will get some better pics next week coz i'm detailing it after its been for an mot. I got center caps to go on but they need balencing first.

Some tasters anyway
