RESTORING UNDERNEATH OF MY S2 RST AT THE MOMENT.AND I CANT GET THE FUEL BRACKET(S) OFF TO PAINT UP.
BOTH THE BOLTS SPIN WHILE TRYING TO REMOVE THE PLATE BRACKET CLOSEST TO CAR.
ALSO WITH THE OTHER BRACKET WHILE TURNING THE 3 BOLTS I HAVE BROKE THE RUBBER TUBES NR THE ACTUAL PUMP.
HOW DO I GET BOLTS OFF?AND WHAT PARTS DO I NEED TO ORDER FROM FORD TO GET THIS JOB DONE.
ANY HELP MOST WELCOME

 

sounds like you will have to cut them off like i had to,one of the bolts goes up into the boot floor which is stuck down and looks like a washer,the big bracket you can buy from fords with the new mount rubbers in it already the other 2 parts of the bracket i powder coated as they were alright,the 3 little rubbers are still avaliable to,and so are the bolts which go to the body,they list a couple of lenghts but i just ordered the lot,all the other nuts,bolts i got in stainless,hope this helps,sorry no part numbers i cant find the receipt.

 

THANKS FOR ADVICE TWINS.
HOW DO I ACTUALY CUT THE BOLTS SEEMS THERE IS VERY LITTLE ROOM BETWEEN THE BRACKET AND FLOOR OF CAR.
ALL BRACKETS ARE SOUND BUT NEED TAKING OFF TO RUST PROOF AND PAINT
ALSO DO I HAVE TO TAKE THE ACTUAL PUMP OFF WHEN REMOVING BRACKETS.

 

you need to cut both bolts i think i slid the hacksaw blade in the top of the rubber mount then cut both off the boot one then will be fecked a you need a new one from ford and it will need painting the other one any bolt long enough with two nuts is ok

the new boot bit can be seen top left of bolts in pic, get a new pump mount plate at ford when you there, think it was 25 notes

also when its off the small rubber mounts in side that hold the pump WILL snap when you try undoing them the are cheap new tho

cheers bodge.thanks for help.
i will keep pump mount plate,rust will wire brush off then i can rust proof it.

ive been asking for moths bout a bracket,,now this,,,, fooks sake

 

I asked just the other day, got this link sent to me straight away.... I have emailed the company, they seem very helpful and all you need are the original 3 rubber flexi mounts or something, when I actually get my old bracket off I will be ordering one

 

looked at the link.seems that it doesnt come with the mounting plate that actualy bolts to the bottom of car,this is wot rots the most.

 

juss ordered the flexi rubber bolts 5a each ,,mr henrys gaff.

 

i want one of those ,,,,,
my billet makers been telt,,,like,,,,still gonna make some ,,engraved rs billet carriers though.

 

plus you can still get this from frauds

 

Still trying to remove my original one I had the idea of cutting one of the bolt heads off and trying to knock it through....hmmm maybe not!

How can I get in there to get at the font bolt that sits up in between where the rear wishbones join! can't get fook all on it! The back one shouldn't be a prob as that whole bit in the boot has to come out....

Any idea's?

 

it was a case of cutting it for me as it was spinning

 

Hi mate, yea, but it is a right pain in the aRSe to get at, what did you use to cut it?

 

i got hold of bolt with mole grips and wriggled it making the hole its in bigger,if you do this for a while the bolt just pulls out.when you put in new bolt all you need is a washer.
worked for me

 

No way was that happening! Anyway, got medievil on ot's ass and went to work with the bolt croppers Let's just say the cradle looks like a mangled mess, but hey it is off, which is what i wanted Now gunna order the bling effort and get the other bits I need, sorted.

 

rubber studs from henry,,,15notes,for three,,no washers or nylocks included either

 

Yup, got all my bits sorted..... i think

 

was it juss the flexi studs of ford needed then????

 

Well, what I needed (or "think" i needed so bought anyway )

1 x mount as bodge has pictured at the top

1 x bootwell plug again as pictured by bodge

3 x the rubber moun things, as you say dont come with the nuts it seems...

3 x nuts, assume these are for the rubber mounts, not sure yet

That's all i needed as I have the other mounts from AS which look cool, I will take a pic when it is all assembled again

 

the nuts you need can be go for halfords they do an asortment (spelling) of nuts in a box and the small ones are what you need, the rest come in handy aswell

make sure do dont just tighten the nut up as i think the rubber will twist and snap, you need a spanner each side to tighten against each other, you will see what i mean when you come to do it

Cheers for the tips Mark.
