Order a tilton kit for a mustang t5 i got mine from gpr raceware in silverstone, all you need to do is have the hole in your bellhousing machined bigger by a few mm

 

Just had a look it looks the same as the burton one??
How much was it I know burtons one is Ł220
that's all I need right as it replaces the clutch arm???

 

Yes m8 you wont have a clutch arm,i take it you have a hydro clutch peddle box ?

 

Yes I have I bais box ready to go in lol
just can't do anything now untill I sort the clutch thing out lol

 

Reyland do a kit aswell,might be worth comparing prices before you buy

 

The rayland kit works with clutch arm and I don't have one lol

spent some more time on her today

popped out and get her some new toys

new hydraulic clutch
new hydraulic clutch hose
new gearbox dust plate
and 5 meters of blue silicon vacuum hose

its been and bit of a made rush as the car is booked it to have to exhaust made monday

so i had to make sure i had everything to fit the gearbox inplace to make sure to exhaust will be in the right place

i have now fitted the hydraulic clutch to the t5 box




so im now looking forward to monday

as we will be making a gearbox mount and fitting the gearbox

then will be running 3" pipe from the turbo down to the axel where it will split into two ready to go into two rear boxes one each side with 4" outlets

cant wait

 

alot of effort going into this one

 

ok guys

i am now smiling

the car has gone woop woop


no not for good just to have the gearbox space frame made
having the gearbox fitted along with the prop

and the having the custom exhaust made

i will try and get some pics as we do it but will need to push on with it so ill see what i can do

 

got the car on the trailer and down to the workshop

fitted gearbox and prop and made a gearbox mount

and started work on the 3" pipe work for the exhaust

 

looking good

 

Not one to put a dampener on recent updates but I am just wondering what you are going to do for the front brakes, I know that you have re-drilled the hubs to 5 stud but looking at the bolt holes where you would normaly mount the escort discs on the hubs it looks like the new stud possitions are far too close and will break parts of the alloy away.
I am well impressed with all of the work that has gone into this car mate and I love the gearbox cross member, we are all waiting for the finnished car and the first video of it running and as you are getting very close to the stage all I can say is keep up the great work.

 

today was spent cutting the boot floor out so i can get the exhaust cans nice and high as i didnt want to have them sitting down at the back and cutting the rear valance to take the twin 4" pipes
welded up the down pipe and started on the T-piece ready to fun the 3" pipe down both sides of the car


































tomorrow will be sent running the rest of the pipe work fitting the rear cans and making up a front towing eye

 

car looks superb!!!
but wich propshaft do you use?

 

I got the prop from pig it's a t5 to atles
but I need to have it made longer or buy a longer one

 

looks awesome

 

exhaust finished
and also done the front and rear tow eyes






























hope you guys like as i know i do

 

ITS very fast and furious look now!

 

Lol

 

there are parts of this car which i really like and there are things i wound change if it was my car. its oldskool meets newskool? but its your car and fair play for being alittle diferant with your car, as long as your happy with it thats all that matters. its a marmite car!!

 

Manythanks

 

Sorry to be a pain, could you send me a link to this kit.

Thanks

 

I got mine from burtons Ł230 for the kit

 

 

 

 

That looks stunning mate, should be very loud wit those exhausts.

 

Hi where did you get the hydraulic clutch bits from and how much was it
Do they do one to fit the 4x4 box
cheers

 

Ł230 from burton performance you will need to call them about a 4wd kit

 

There are 2 designs of these top mounts. Andy is correct in saying that the weight of the car shouldn't be supported on the circlip, but he was wrong to say that the mounts were upside down when the car went to be painted.

From the photo below, the top mounts are upside down - look at the circlip.

CHANGE THEM ROUND.

 

Come on lol
are they up or down....

 

Imagine what the weight of the car is doing. Effectively, it's trying to push the bearing upwards. The only thing that's stopping the bearing from moving upwards, with the top mounts fitted as they are, is the circlip (ignoring friction). If you turn the top mounts the other way up, then the bearing will be prevented from moving by the lip on the top mount.

 

The other sort of mounts Andy was thinking of are as in the pic below. Notice the 2 recesses to tap the bearing out using a punch - ie the circlip is on the other side. Compare these to your top mounts - the circlip grooves are on different sides, meaning that IF you had the ones shown below, then the "lumpy bit" should indeed be fitted upwards.

 

I spent a day swaping them around last time lol

 

Can you take a better picture of the mounts
